Helsingin Kaksrivisnaiset

A colourful group stands in the forefront of Finnish folk music. The five young women of the Helsinki Melodeon Ladies have raised the two-rowed accordeon from the quagmire of tradition into a new and radiant expression.

With ten rows and fifty fingers these lively ladies give old polkas, dramatic tangos, subtle folk songs, popular comic songs and hits from the 50's fresh and rich interpretations.

The warmth of tradition and our times. Grace and feminine toughness. A delight to the ears and a pleasure for the eyes. This and much more are the Helsinki Melodeon Ladies.
