In Aléa, kantele and clarinet swing in ways you have never heard before. The duo's music has its roots deep in Nordic traditional music. Aléa have been active performers in Finland's folk music scene since they started, and they have also performed for audiences previously unfamiliar with folk music both in Finland and internationally. Globally, the duo are known as the ambassadors of Swedish-language folk music from Finland.

The programme includes both Swedish-language music collected from the coasts of Finland and arranged for Aléa's style and original compositions by the duo. The duo released their debut album, Fredriksgatan, in early 2023. The album has gained plenty of attention in Finland and other countries, both in reviews and on the radio.

Performers:

Aurora Visa, kantele
Annika Lyytikäinen, clarinet
