Trad trance with the Jew's harp. The new album by Tapani Varis takes us from the steppes of Mongolia to the mountains and glaciers of Norway to the magical mantras and epochs of Finnish hirtory.
Varis has revived Finnish Jew's harp and made a bold album where nordic landscapes embrace both the forest and the city. The archaic and spiritual sound of the Jew's harp is complemented by the breathtaking equation of kantele as played by Maija Kauhanen and percussion provided by Zarkus Poussa.
