Lempilevyt LEMPI 001 (2004)

The distinctive attractive lift and shuffle of Finnish dance tunes, with the occasional song, from quartet of well-experienced and very able young players on the current Helsinki scene – Piia Kleemola, Petri Prauda, Antti Paalanen and Paula Susitaival – on fiddles, accordion, cittern, nyckelharpa, bagpipes, kantele and more. www.lempi.org
