Our Take

The latest offering from the Kalevala Orchestra, "Abrahams Blue Refrain," is a kaleidoscopic journey through the avant-garde wilderness of folkloric experimentation. With tracks like "Mystical Moomin Dance" and "Sami Shaman Serenade," the album transports listeners to a mystical realm where traditional Finnish melodies collide with psychedelic rock sensibilities.

From the haunting drone of the kantele to the hypnotic beats of the bendir drum, Kalevala Orchestra seamlessly weaves together a tapestry of sonic textures that is both innovative and undeniably catchy. The band's fearless approach to genre-blending is evident in every note, creating a musical experience that is as unpredictable as it is enchanting.

Lead vocalist Sari Kaasinen's ethereal voice soars above the intricate layers of instrumentation, adding a touch of otherworldly beauty to the album's already mesmerizing sound. Each track is a sonic odyssey, taking listeners on a wild ride through a landscape of swirling colours and shapes.

"Abrahams Blue Refrain" is a bold statement from a band unafraid to push the boundaries of traditional folk music. With its infectious rhythms and mesmerizing melodies, this album is a must-listen for anyone craving a musical adventure like no other. So sit back, relax, and let Kalevala Orchestra take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
