Sampo Lassila Narinkka
Suomiklezmer 2 - East-helsinki Suite
The music is new, Finnish and European worldmusic, acoustic klezmer, that mixes a wide range of influences from traditional Jewish, Finnish and Balkan folk music even to Scandinavian contemporary chamber music and jazz - with distinctive Finnish-sounding melodies and soundworlds, Finnish mentality, humour and musical stories, but still respecting the rich and wonderful tradition of klezmer. It would be too easy to call this music just klezmer, the idea is much more open. The musical multicultural heritage in the Finnish urbanenvironment is the root idea of Narinkkas music.
