Workshop: Finnish Archaic Tradition

Anna Fält takes us on a short journey through the ancient traditions of Finnish folk music, the archaic singing and playing which goes back to the Fenno-Ugric spell- and
incantation rituals thousands of years ago. We’ll learn about the simple, meditative, repetitive song and kantele melodies played together and separately.
