Värttinä returned to the stages and released an album after a 10 year break! Now the album is number one on all world music charts!!!

It’s the time of Värttinä, VOL 2. The legend of Finnish folk music, welcome back.

Värttinä made a spectacular comeback with a new, amazing album Kyly (Rockadillo Records). The album ignites a spark in the deepest core of Finnish traditional music – and at the same time takes it to new, bold dimensions. Värttina’s voice has carried the rich sounds of Karelian songs from generation to generation, but the album is proof of how strongly the band lives in time. Every note has been honed with years of experience and passion. Värttinä is back, better than ever before.
