ANU JUNNONEN & TUUR FLORIZOONE
White Paper Album Release
Vihma is an original song of Värttinä, the world famous Finnish folk music band. It is one of the two covers on the debut album White Paper by Anu Junnonen and Tuur Florizoone. This songs has been travelling with us for many years and when performed live it takes on different forms. We’re happy to have finally recorded our own version of this amazing song of Värttinä.
Vihma literally means ‘sleet’ that translates to wet snow. Imagine yourself walking through a wintry Nordic landscape, trying to reach home where a warm fireplace awaits. But the snow sticks to your feet, the wind is blowing harder, the temperature is dropping … Will you make it home? Have a good trip.
‘Vihma’ was originally written by Kari & Sirpa Reiman ‘The full album is released on ‘Aventura Musica’.
