Pääesintyjät

Riimejä ja riitasointuja

(Bluelight Records)



From this Iowa vantage spot, the Rillumareibilly Cruise can't be espied. But feet are surely flying, as Lahti's Pääesiintyjät discharge their trademarked Rillumareibilly - an idiosyncratic genre hangout where American roots stylings and Finnish rillumarei crank twangs and play mumblety-peg with flick-knives. rillumarei is marked by 
lilting airs, traditionally realized with accordion, trumpet, piano, harmonica, and mischievous, stentorian voices like that of Käukö Käyhko.

The steamrolling Rockabilly about which traditional airs are entwined is the stuff of never-ending parties, and requires no further remark. Once swung, newcomers will crave returns.

Recommended: "Miksi näin," "Rillumareitä," "Tuntemattomaan," "Ohikiitävää," "Vain yksi sydän," "Yksi ja ainoa," "Valoon," "Tanssin kanssa aavaiden"

Videos: "Miksi näin"   "Rillumareitä" (live) [The Blasters' "American Music"]   "Tuntemattomaan"   "Ohikiitävää" (live)
