 |
| The Kramfors Municipality organized a "Finnish Week" this month with many different cultural activities and events. This week, accordionists Jörgen Sundeqvist and Päivi Mettälä (pictured above) performed at a concert entitled "In the footsteps of the Finnish accordion masters", which was held in Gudmundrå Hembygdsgård, Kramfors, Sweden. The duo played "live" music as well as legendary recordings from Sven Bergvall's fantastic album collection that is at Dragspelsarchivet, Gudmundrå Hembygdsgård. They also told the history of famous Finnish and Swedish accordion players. “Some old songs brought back memories and feelings of childhood when my parents danced to those tunes.” There was also music by and with Viljo Vesterinen, Lasse Pihlajamaa, Onni Laihanen, Toivo Manninen, Paul Norrback, Taito Vainio, Veikko Ahvenainen, Matti Viljanen, Andrew Walter, Karl & Erling Grönstedt and Hans-Erik Nääs. |
