Album Notes

Sattuma (Finnish word for «occasion») – a folk music quartet from Petrozavodsk, republic of Karelia. This is a «family quartet», whose line-up includes internationally known folk musicians Arto Rinne and Dmitry Dyomin (members of the well-known group Myllдrit) and their children– Eila and Vadim. Interpreting traditional material including Finnish, Karelian and Russian traditional tunes and songs, the band creates absolutely unique atmosphere and mood, in which two musical generations enter into lively and creative conversation. Polished through years of practice «fathers» artistry (the two musicians play more than 15 traditional instruments – from violin and accordion to chipsan and didgeridoo) and somewhat naпve, spontaneous perception of music by «children», harmoniously combined,create the specific sound, which has won hearts of large audiences worldwide.
