Video: Online performance at the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival Duo Vilda, which includes accordionist Viivi Maria Saarenkylä and indigenous Samí singer Hildá Länsman (Finland) were announced winners of the Eurosonic online festival, “Music Moves Europe” Talent Awards. The awards ceremony was held online (due to Covid-19 restrictions) from January 13th to 16th, 2021. The event was hosted by UK artist Mel C and is a non-profit, European artists only, 100% showcase festival and music conference, which has a proven track record for helping new acts break into the international music scene. Every year, eight outstanding artists receive a Music Moves Europe Talent Award in recognition of their international success, as well as being rewarded with a performance at ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) and financial support for touring and promotion. Vilda was representing Finland (and Samíland) this year in the contest. They performed an online concert at the ESNS festival right after the award ceremony which was held on January 15th. |
