3 Finnish Folk Music Instruments

[@renansantiago8245]

I'm Brazilian, and raised in a favela in Rio de Janeiro city. How I'd like to say to those musicians that their music had crossed the Atlantic and found my heart!!! I just love Finnish folk music.

[@turpasauna]

Kantele is the perfect instrument for Finns. You hear the wind breezing in the forests when you listen to it; it's delicate and soft but also powerful when needed. I know Tolkien thought of Finns as kind of forest elves, and somehow I now see it with the kantele.

[@edwardmorton6691]

This is why I love youtube youd never see such wonderful instruments or hear such evocative music on mainstream TV that lot are too busy telling us how to live and totally depressing the life out of everyone. Mainstream TV should carry a health warning. Give me this sort of educational entertainment any day of the week. Truly uplifting.

[@TheEwkaB]

Omg the kantele sounded GORGEOUS! *^* I felt like in a fantasy world.

[@allegedlyadult3737]

TheEvka B do you know the story behind kantele? google "kalevala kantele" it's an awesome folktale

[@thommorden4342]

Ahh yes. Steady old Väinämöinen made of himself a maker, took the shape of a shaper: he made the instrument of pike bones, produced a joy forever.

[@MrJanZko]

Check Ida Elina out. Shes a maestro on it

[@schumispecial1]

It is so majestic, brilliant!

[@sampomme]

My grand uncle played the mandolin like a boss. He was a proper Finnish lumberjack. I loved him.

[@gungnir8877]

The kantele is majestic!!!

[@jlphoenix3866]

I love Finland

[@ronkopald]

Me too! I want to live there. What a place.

[@Krabadaque]

@@ronkopald Finland is where I was born and raised - and yes, there are worse places! Learned to play the kantele while living in Sweden, though (!). Find the Runaway Kantele on Spotify, if you like!

[@TheScunneredMan]

1st & 3rd pieces are fine, but the middle set, played on the kantele....... Brilliant!!

[@lunanegussie4981]

I love kantele and also love playing it

[@piprist5099]

The Kantele sounds FABULOUS. Brilliant. Oh so good. Delighted to hear this.

[@kantabrille6529]

Just happened, I found an incredibly beautiful performance of gusli. When was typed "slavic music" in the search I was shown an unique performance on slavic gusli (helmet-sharped psaltery) by one guslar Kirill Bogomilov. I was incredibly inspired by it's performance and I learned at his youtube that it turns out there is an gusli ancient slavic tradition but gusli was banned in Russia for more than 200 years and was burned at the stake in the middle ages as a magical devilish instrument! Unbelievably!!! I've never heard anything about it before, and now I've found your channel with music on this amazing instrument. Thank you so much for this perfomance!

[@grialcaballero]

I also didn't know about this music instrument before. But as I listened to this I started to cry. It was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@kanteleon]

!!

[@anabelpalomo8724]

This music is hauntingly beautiful. I looked for slavic gusli... It actually brought me to tears from the very first sound. However, it sounds so familiar, that now I seriously consider that I used to live in one slavic country in one of my previous lives!

[@annboreeff9471]

In Europe burned heretics but in Russia there are burned musical instruments, that's the case...!

[@eleazargarcia7128]

You've opened up the news for me! The gusli is really beautiful. I love all slavic culture.

[@carlosortega8357]

Pure enchantment.... Glorious.... exactly the feeling after a hot sauna and cold water dip experience... Epic !

[@phaedragreen4098]

05:00! Kantele on kyllä niin ihana soitin! ^ ^ Tulee heti semmonen olo kuin olisi luonnon keskellä ja täysin omassa rauhassa. Miksei tätä soitinta käytetä enempää? Maailmassa on niin paljon soittimia, pitäisi hyödyntää niiden rikasta tarjontaa nykyistä enemmän.

[@garyhicks789]

I totally agree :)

[@fourstrings9023]

You said it! I hope to accumulate many of these instruments over my life

[@turpasauna]

No tämä. Miksi Suomessa ei opeteta lapsille enää kanteletta? Joku kusinen nokkahuilu ei ole meidän soitin.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Portable piano is a brilliant idea what has been tackled several times in history (mostly successfully).

[@trumpjongun8831]

I would've want to see Jouhikko, it's one of my favourite music instruments alongside with Kantele.

[@herrakaarme]

This seemed to be of younger instruments (like from the 18th century onwards). While kantele itself is ancient, of course, in this video the more modern form was presented. Jouhikko would be very medieval, which seemed to be beyond the scope of the video.

[@v-p6469]

@@herrakaarme two others ain´t that ancient. Jouhikko is older than them. Only kantele is older by far.

[@leonardoantoniodichiara]

Bello lo strumento, bisogna pedalare parecchio.... Complimenti per l'esecuzione!

[@PercivalC]

First instrument and its song reminded me of the old Zelda games :)

[@rrrosecarbinela]

Beautiful, fantastique, bellisimo, esquisito, non plus ultra! I was enraptured by the Kantele and the mandolins, and very much enjoyed the harmonium. Now there's a good exercise routine!

[@redwolf7929]

Did an ancestry test.Thought I was a total Anglo - celt from Australia. Know some ancestors from Scotland, Ireland England ,Germany, but low and behold ,Finland!! As well.We certainly got around.

[@people2167]

Finnish folk music are sounds such as seems to me early century music.

[@Itapirkanmaa2]

All the pieces are "inspired by folk music". In fact they are only loosely connected with Finland at all.

[@schumispecial1]

Quite proggy! The 1st part has chord layout and other arrangements to me distantly reminding of those of Keith Emerson. The 2nd example with kantele also fabulous, even irish/celtic hint but proudly Finnish. Mandolin also pretty jolly and a skillful duet.

[@salvon.960]

That dulcimer-like instrument is beautifully arcane and hypnotic.

[@Itapirkanmaa2]

It's a Peasant Kantele.

[@heppareppana]

Hairstyles in Sibelius Academy, an art genus of its own.

[@gregdelaney119]

These are simply beautiful musical expressions. Kiitos!

[@samaratenzin]

how beautiful ;)) i love it

That's it I'm buying a Kantele

Terve from Karjala/Karelia :)

[@janeolson5735]

Magical. I love it.

[@ukulelelavonne7359]

That guy was banging the shit out of that harmooni! The most beautiful by far was the talonpoikaiskantele in my opinion. Was she playing that with a toothpick?!?!?

[@nostrobothnia]

Ukulele LaVonne Yep, she was.

[@leighharwood3886]

She is playing in the ancient manner, called block and strum. You can see paintings of Medieval people or angels playing this type of instrument with a feather for a plectrum.

[@hillmichaeljames]

Thank you.

[@HomiakVovan]

потрясающие звуки! очень необычно!

[@kimsherlock888]

Loved the beginning,,,Fantastic drama, and the music is out of my world but I can hear Bach

[@busybird7149]

The key on the harmonium look crooked as high heaven.

[@MarkBlessleyNTSDCCPEP]

Her name is Olga Shishkina, and she does have recordings.

[@isaackleiner87]

Her name is Pauliina Syrjälä. They are very similar.

[@Corvixius]

I can't see the translation! :O What do the descriptions say?

[@dying4laughing]

YLE Teema: "Suomalaiset perinteiset kansansoittimet heräävät eloon 2000-luvun karismaattisten muusikoiden käsissä. Tutuiksi tulevat sallaisetkin oudot instrumentit kuin liru, mänkeri ja jouhikko." "Traditional Finnish folk instruments come to life in the hands of carismatic 21st century musicians. You'll get acquainted(?) with such weird instruments as Liru, Mänkeri and Jouhikko." A bit late, but if someone wants the translation, there it is.

[@allegedlyadult3737]

how is called that wonderful instrument after 5:25 ?

[@EpicFishStudio]

Benoît Mussche that big one is peasant kantele. Usually kanteles are much smaller, like 50cm long and 5 chords.

EpicFishStudio Where can I get an authentic peasant kantele from Finland?

[@timomastosalo]

+Benoît Mussche Don't know, try net search - maybe you can order on-line?

Oh I did but it's very expensive :-) May be I can build one ;-)

Mä en tienny et mandoliini on suomalainen soitin.. Hyvin kyllä soitti!

[@EneriGiilaan]

Mandoliini on soitin jota niin sanotut kansanmuusikot ovat soittaneet ja jolle säveltäneet. Sinä mielessä se on suomalainen kansanmusiikin soitin. Toisaalta voi sanoa ettei ole olemassa mitään 'puhtaasti' suomalaista soitinta. Esimerkiksi kantele on osa isoa vastaavanlaisten soitinten perhettä jne.

[@annisaurus]

@@EneriGiilaan Jep, esimerkisi harppu ja varsinkin japanilainen koto ovat hyvin samanlaisia kanteleen kanssa.

[@EneriGiilaan]

@@annisaurus Itse ajattelin vielä läheisempiä sukulaisia.Lähes kaikilla Itämeren ympäristön kansoilla on omat kanteleen sukuiset soittimensa jotka eivät harrastelijan silmään välttämättä juurikaan eroa näistä erilaisista 'kotoisista' malleista.

[@Avene13]

Hmm... the string instrument (peasant's kantele) is traditional instrument of Latvians (called kokle), even some melodies are similar. Mandolin is also played in Latvia but sounds differently as far as I can say. Just another proof of Latvian undoubtedly Northern heritage.
