Gives me the feel of a more pop version of Lady Parts.
What an excellent show that was!

Bryant Park in NYC is having an Accordions Around the World global music festival tonight, so in honor, one from each group.
@vermes82 Any chance you know this group? I’m loving them! Wondering if maybe there’s some Saami representation, either in the musicians or possibly in any of their songs?
Live feed ( only Diana Burco to go, but they’ll clean up the live recording a bit and keep it available at the link):

Accordions you say?
Hate to tell you, but Suistamon Sähkö is my new favorite band!

Never heard of them. They had a free gig 2km from my home 10 days ago.
Seems more Karelian influenced. Suistamo (Суйстамо) is in Karelia. Their name is literally Suistamo Electricity [energy company of Suistamo].

Thanks! Now that you heard them (if you listed to the video), maybe you’ll take advantage of a free concert if they come your way again!

the second track in this set so much. The first one is great, too, and is currently available to listen to in the streams. For Wanted, I’ll have to wait till 10/6. Marking the calendar.
Thanks for posting!! Hiromi wasn’t on my radar at all.
So there’s this band from Belarus called Irdorath who play what they call fantasy folk:
In 2020 they joined protests against Lukashenko and his blatantly falsified elections, performing the anthem of the protest movement, Victor Tsoi’s “Peremen” - “We wait for changes”:
Changes unfortunately did not come and a year later, amid widespread crackdown against the opposition, Lukashenko regime arrested the leaders of the band. They were sentenced to two years in prison on a charge that their music incited other protestors to attack the police. But now they’re finally out of prison, out of Belarus, and out with a defiant new song - “We’ll be the starlights”:
