Instrumental, other languages
International relevance: *
Folk band known as Kankaan Pelimannit in their native Finland; sort of a Finnish equivalent to Skäggmanslaget or Norrlåtar. A short tune played on Finnish national instrument kantele (seen on the album cover) is rather evocative, as is the vocal track ”På Harjumäen Backe”. The album is included here as it was recorded in Sweden by Anders Lind, head of Silence Records and released on his label. A later Kangas Spelmän LP was released in a rare joint venture between Silence and MNW. They made several albums between 1972 and 1982, but most of them have no Swedish connection.
