Lasse Hoikka & Souvarit - Kultamailla

Review by Yahaira Stewart

Lasse Hoikka & Souvarit's album "Kultamailla" is a celebration of Finnish music and culture. The album features a mix of traditional Finnish folk songs and original compositions, all performed with the band's signature blend of accordion, strings, and percussion.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "Kultamailla," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Hoikka's vocals are rich and emotive, and the band's instrumentation is tight and polished.

Other standout tracks include "Käki," a haunting ballad about a cuckoo bird, and "Savolaisten laulu," a rousing anthem for the people of Savo. The album also features a number of instrumental tracks, including the jaunty "Kalamiehen polkka" and the mournful "Kyyneleet."
