Hannu Tähtelä The group Tuulenkantajat is a veteran of contemporary Finnish folk music. In the early 1980's they were among the first to develop interest in ancient Finnish music and its vast potential. Drawing from the Finnish-Karelian tradition, Tuulenkantajat discovered not only musical instruments such as five-string kanteles and bowed harps but also musical themes and a penchant for improvisation so typical of ancient Finnish music.
Another aspect of Tuulenkantajat is their marvellous ability to create music of their own: the members of the group are talented composers and arrangers. The world of their own music has no limits, their ethnic background is heavily influenced by every style of pop music imaginable.
All this adds up to a musical adventure with Tuulenkantajat.
Lie back and enjoy it!
