Johanna Juhola Reaktori
Johanna Juhola shows that accordion isn’t only just an old-fashioned instrument. She surfs from modern folk music to tango, classical, and jazz. Fantasia-tango is the title of Juhola’s second solo album released in 2010, and it describes very well the style of the music.
Reaktori is a mix of four exuberant musicians: Juhola, Milla Viljamaa, Tuomas Norvio and Sara Puljula.

Sat 29 OCT 18:30 at Cloban CPH

Kristiina Ilmonen Sysihai
Three electronic shepherds with arcaic Finno-Ugric roots on free pastures –ancient winds meet the machines… this is what Sysihai is about, it’s and exploration into the landscape of overtones, mellow flutes, hounting horns, shamans in the subways, sheep on the run. It’s delicate and passionate urban folk.
