KETSURAT
Pari Šanua
Ketsurat KETCD-001 (2005)

Young Finnish female acapella octet with Finnish, Bulgarian, Malian and Cherokee songs in hard and soft voices. Promising perhaps, if they concentrate on a direction but, though well-produced, at just 22 minutes this is more a demo (accordingly mid-priced) than an album. Brief audio samples are at www.ketsurat.fi
