2. Happy Birthday to Me!
If a man doesn’t have a possibility to party his birthday, this could be the way to celebrate it, composing a tune for himself!

4. Blomqvist’s Jump
The traditional part of the melody is originally a polka, played by a fiddle-player called Blomkvist.
5. Atrás do Prejuízo
This is a composition by Fabio, and maybe that’s why it sounds more like traditional choro. The title means working to recover from loss.
6. Loving Tenderly
Love, love, love… the name of the tune tells it all.

Sampo was a magic machine in ancient Kalevala epics. It gave money, grain and salt to its owner.

Gammelgård is a tiny village in a country-side quite near the town of Porvoo. Jarmo usually visits there with his family for having a good sauna.
