Erkki Liikanen's latest album, Evakkoreki Remu, is a stunning work of art that showcases his immense talent as a musician and composer. The album features a unique blend of traditional Finnish folk music with modern sounds and arrangements. The use of different instruments such as the accordion, violin, and guitar, combined with Liikanen's soulful vocals, creates a mesmerizing and haunting atmosphere that transports the listener to a different time and place.
The album consists of ten tracks, each with its own distinct character and story. From the upbeat and lively "Pelimannin polska" to the melancholic and introspective "Kun mä jätin kylän taakse," Liikanen takes the listener on a journey through different emotions and moods. The lyrics, which are all in Finnish, are beautifully written and reflect the rich cultural heritage of Finland.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Maailmanloppu," which features a haunting melody and powerful vocals. The use of the accordion and violin in this track creates a sense of urgency and desperation, which perfectly complements the apocalyptic theme of the song.
