Wiidakko - Kipinät

Review by Jarle Petterson

Wiidakko's latest album, Kipinät, is a captivating journey into the world of Finnish folk music. The album is a beautiful blend of traditional folk melodies and contemporary electronic beats, creating a unique and modern sound.

The album's opening track, "Kipinät," sets the tone for the rest of the album. The driving beat and haunting vocals draw the listener in, while the use of traditional Finnish instruments such as the kantele and the jouhikko add a layer of authenticity to the sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Kosketus," which features a pulsing bassline and ethereal vocals. The use of electronic elements in this track is particularly effective, creating a dreamy and otherworldly atmosphere.

Another highlight of the album is "Hauki," a more upbeat and energetic track that showcases the band's skill at blending traditional and modern sounds. The use of accordion and fiddle in this track brings a joyful and celebratory feel to the music.
