Ritva Nero performing Rutvan polkka and Bombschottische at 2:20:30.
Metal folk music from Finland
Two weeks ago, just when we were packing to go to Poland for WOMEX 2017 I got a call from Timo Rautiainen, a pioneer of Finnish heavy rock – and nowadays also a folk musician!
He invited Ritva Nero to perform as supporting act for his band Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus in Tampere 18th of November at Pakkahuone! The band made a comeback last summer after being on a break for more than ten years. Now they have released a new critically acclaimed album Lauluja Suomesta.
And we also have new tunes to perform!!
