JPP – “Artology ” – [Northside]

Fiddle-heavy band from Finland performs instrumental music drawing from Finnish folk tunes and other influences, ranging from Swedish to American styles. Polskas (not the same as polka ??? it???s a different rhythm), as well as actual polkas, waltzes, swing, and tangos are explored here; this is primarily music for dancing, although there are more meditative tracks as well (see #4). It???s all beautifully played, with a rowdy live track at the end.
