@@Qjejrbtnfncnc Clearly you don't if you say 1918 :D Actually the highest power in Finland was moved from the emperor to the parliament through a vote on 15.11.1917 so that could have also been our independence day! 4.12. was the declaration, 6.12. was another vote.

It is good to remember that this covers only mostly pop music while pretty much ignoring other genres completely ps. also, most of the earliest entries are international hits that have been re-written into Finnish versions, not original songs. This was very common in the world of music back then. Around the 1973 mark, most of the songs start to be original songs, and not international remakes pps. Also yes, Olavi Virta is extremely highly ranked Finnish singer, and a lot of older people consider him to be by far the number one singer of all time ppps. That alarm sound sounded like your fire-alarm is running out of battery

[@GIOBOZZ]

Wow thanks for the details Ppps

[@uwu_smeg]

Finland has a VERY strange relationship with Johnny Cash, of all people - feels like most his songs have Finnish covers.

[@Songfugel]

@@uwu_smeg Oh, I didn't even know that, but it is not that surprising, his music style is very relatable to Finns. Especially his cover of NIN's Hurt, is so incredibly Finnish at heart

[@sebuls]

Finland has quite healthy reggae culture which people tend to find bit surprising. For me it went from Kapteeni Ä-ni and soul captain band from the 00's through raappana, juju, jukka poika, and nopsajalka to the present day where The Meänland is the band filling the reggae niche in the playlist.

[@ottokylanlahti8930]

Given that Finland has more metal bands per capita than any other country in the world it's almost criminal that none were featured here

[@mikakoivunen3456]

Tapio Rautavaara was also a very good athlete "Rautavaara won a European bronze medal in 1946, an Olympic gold medal in 1948, and five national titles in 1944-45, and 1947-49. He placed fifth at the 1950 European Championships. In archery Rautavaara won a team gold medal at the 1958 World Championships and a national title in 1955"

[@tomi_9212]

There is only 2 Finnish person that won gold medal both in Olympics and the gold record-sale. Matti Nykänen and Tapio Rautavaara.

[@cassu6]

Wow didn't know that about him. Some people are just wild

[@gamerbear84]

It's specifically Finnish (as if in the language) music, so immediately cuts out many great bands and also is largely focused on pop hits. A few seconds of one song per year is also just SUCH a thin slice, I did a extended versions of sorts for the 70s through 2000s on my channel, but something this bite-sized IS a lot more accessible.

[@Nikzzza]

4:30 Puhu Hiljaa Rakkaudesta. I'm ashamed I didn't insatntly recognize what the OG song was, but I knew the moment I heard this tiny clip that it couldn't have been Fredi's own song. And 2 second googling later, indeed, it was the melody of the theme song of Godfather. Then when I relistened to that tiny clip I instantly could tell that yeah, indeed that's exactly what it was. I know there's an awful lot of these "cool song you got there, lemme make it a finnish one" in these old days, but I wasn't expecting a movie's theme song to be used as one :D

It was something in the kitchen. Figure out what it was

[@riinak7212]

9:26 It's either an interpolation or cover of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" from the original "Top Gun" soundtrack. BTW, Dido is pronounced DIE-doh, and Ciccolina is CHEE-cho-leen-uh. She lost to Blind Side in UMK I believe.

[@Aradhrin]

The Finnish traditional music is genre called Schlager music! "Schlager is a loanword from German (from schlagen, "to hit"). It also came into some other languages (such as Bulgarian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Czech, Finnish, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Serbian, Turkish, Russian,[3] Hebrew, and Romanian,[4] for example), where it retained its meaning of a "(musical) hit".

[@artoniinisto9022]

I like the story of Eminem's Stan (read it, too much to discuss here), but also the Dido connection. She said that her artist name Dido, already hers as a kid, is her true name (it is really Florian Armstrong, which she hates, as Florian is a German man's name, and she was bullied bc of it. The ancient Dido was the famous Queen of Carthage). Her song 'Thank You' was first heard in the film Sliding Doors in 1998. The Dido sample came first for Stan and attracted Eminem's attention. He wrote Stan thinking about obsessive fans' violent behaviour. Both songs were chart-toppers in 2000, and Dido's career got a boost.

[@GIOBOZZ]

Had no idea about that. Thanks for sharing.

My former coworker played in a band in the -67 and was asked to warm-up act for some new upcoming american artist. It turned out to be Jimi Hendrix.

[@Nikzzza]

10:30 as far as I was able find, Maailman Toisella Puolen should be Haloo Helsinki's original song and no mentions of samples being used that I could find, not saying it can't sound similiar to something else, but no similiar thing as with your example of Stan here

[@eliasl872]

10:21 it's called sampling and it's literally where hiphop/rap came from. Stealing old ahh soul/jazz etc songs and adding drums on 'em. It's still very common in hiphop. Half of Metro's, Kanye's, Dre's etc beats r just samples with chopping and drums.

[@osemarvin2847]

Love your stuff, but I have to say that this video compilation of Finnish songs was put together a person, who either deliberately missed the biggest Finnish Artists/Acts/Bands - or was too young to been influenced by them. I think whatever the case, the biggest thing was his/her taste of music. Oldest songs were clearly picked from wikipedia and later stuff was his/her personal choice - not representative at all of the zeitgeist.

[@thejohanvalli]

That comes to finnish music I would recomend these songs and artists. 1960's... Daa-da Daa-da, by Sammy Babitzin 1970-1980's... Hengaillaan, by Kirka Veikko Nieminen, by Tapani Kansa Asfalttiprinssi, by Hector Myrkytyksen oireet, by Juice Leskinen 2010-2020's... En kommentoi, by Antti Tuisku Rahan takii, by Antti Tuisku Jesse on mun frendi, by Antti Tuisku Sinä tiedät sen, by Litku Klemetti To name a few good examples.

[@ArchieArpeggio]

I think those were too short parts from the songs to get good picture of the most. All the older songs are classics and i think that most of thr sinnish people that have any musical backround knows these songs. I think that anyone who plays or writes music should know the history of the music of the homeland. But there sure is lots of great songs in the past and there is name of the artist and song in every peace so if you liked some of them, take the name and song down and listen the whole song from youtube or spotify.

[@virCottoQ37]

Thete also lot of metal music in Finland. Btw. Check Lähibotox doc from yle areen. Lähibotox is mixed rap & metal.

[@Mustanaamio7]

Olavi Virta, Tapio Rautavaara, and Eino Grön are probably the greatest Finnish singers. The recorded lots of covers but still mostly original songs and many of them are considered to be eternal classics. Juice Leskinen was incredible songwriter, but not much of a singer. Badding was also quite unique.

There's also rap like paleface and others taht might give little insight to diversity of music comming from finnish anxiaety. Also Viikate is good example of melancholy rock that is foundation of finnish music.

Yeah they are not really covering any kind of "evolution" of 50 years they are just cherry pikking some songs

[@DerClouder]

Best rap-music in Finland is, in my humble opinion, SMC-HOODRATS/LÄHIÖROTAT. They have the old-school skate-rap and NYC-style rap in there while rapping about real issues in their respective neighbourhoods(poverty, crime, etc.). You should check them out and read the english translations for their lyrics to get some context. But in the general theme of music in Finland, i was hooked on older music by my parents when i was a kid, so i feel you there. Almost all of those songs featured in here are one i have heard from my childhood and are very nostalgic to me. But the finnish music a bottomless well of translations, original melodies, remixes and raps you could speak about for days. This was a nice glance of our music, so than you! 😁
