Hybrid Forms

Due to the new audience restrictions the remaining Hybrid Forms gigs are, unfortunately, cancelled. We will welcome Aili Ikonen + Antti Kujanpää and Katu Kaiku back to play during our next series, whenever it’s feasible. We wish all those who will have lost work as a result of the recent restrictions all the very best. Our thanks go to Maija Kauhanen and Aili Järvelä for their wonderful performances, and to all those who came out to our first two gigs. We hope to see you all soon in the not too distant future!

A powerfully expressive voice, deep-rooted kantele and inventive percussion: fleet-fingered virtuoso and one-woman band Maija Kauhanen specializes in Finnish Saarijärvi kantele and the old and rare technique of playing kantele using a tiny wooden stick as a plectrum. Weaving this together with poly-rhythms and organic beats, she creates unique soundscapes and compelling grooves. This coming Saturday 31st July Tislaamo - Distillery Bar! Free entry!
