Värttinä - Two Tracks From Kokko
Review by Alex Hu
Värttinä's album "Two Tracks From Kokko" showcases the unique and captivating sound of the Finnish folk music group. The album features two tracks, "Kokko" and "Kivutar," both of which are powerful and hauntingly beautiful.
"Kokko" is an energetic and rhythmic track that showcases Värttinä's signature vocal harmonies and percussion. The song builds in intensity, with the vocals and instruments coming together in a powerful crescendo.
"Kivutar," on the other hand, is a more subdued and introspective track. The haunting vocals and sparse instrumentation create a sense of melancholy and longing. The lyrics, which tell the story of a mythical Finnish goddess, add to the song's mystical and otherworldly feel.
