Orpheus Listening Challenge 2023: #35 An album featuring the kantele (2nd album)
Honestly, if you were to ask me to pinpoint where the kantele is being played on here, I would pretty much fail miserably.
Other than that constatation, the album exudes Scandinavia. Love how the jazz influences are sprinkled between the cracks of nordic folk music. Plus hearing Norwegian/Finnish harmonizing really adds to the beauty and mystery of Scandinavian folklore.
Standouts include Jacob's Dream, The Wolfman, Køyri, and the closing track, Pillar to Heaven.
