Iho
The central figure in Aldargaz'es music is, of course, Maria Kalaniemi, an accordionist who follows her own paths. Her playing is both sensitive and original. Most of the pieces have been arranged by Timo Alakotila, a gifted orchestrator. Yet, as in Argentinian music all the musicians are equally important in creating the unique sound of Aldargaz.
