Nordic Notes | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

A peculiar album title! 'Toisjalkainen,' translated as 'The Different-Footed,' is the third full-length album by the Finnish duo Emilia Lajonen and Suvi Oskala. The two extensively awarded musicians impress with their powerful performance and unique interpretations of traditional melodies and new commissioned compositions. The folk duo once again delves into the rich historical repertoire of fiddlers from central Finland. Their music could also be described as a continuation of the Finnish musical tradition into modern times from the perspective of two contemporary violin players.
