Sen kuusi sarjakuvanovellia käsittelevät kansanuskon ilmiöitä kekristä karhunpalvontaan ja tontuista tietäjiin. Sisarukset joutuvat metsänpeittoon, tyytymätön saunatonttu aiheuttaa päänvaivaa kerrostalossa ja vanhapiika kohtaa kuolleista nousseen ystävättärensä.

Typical to a Finnish tango is that it's mostly talking about yearning and misery of life. Quite often the most positive tango songs are covers translated in Finnish. R sounds is typically rolled extra hard and words are stretched to add more drama. Many male singers have a vibrating voice which adds the drama. The strong R is especially present in how men sing. Women typically sing tango with a brighter voice and tone even when a song is dark.

Finland has a tango singing competition called Tangomarkkinat. It's currently struggling, partly because the after effects of covid and younger generation preferring other genres over tango but it's still hold annually. It was aired on TV each year for decades. Tangomarkkinat crowns a Tango King and a Tango Queen. Some of the winners are still extremely well known and popular artists decades later like Arja Koriseva (Tango Queen 1989), Mika Pohjonen (Tango King 1992) and Marita Taavitsainen (Tango Queen 1995).

If you search Finnish tango by a composer you should go after Unto Mononen. He has composed the majority of Finnish tango sngs.

Many of the above songs are sung by different artists so if you search by the song name you will find new singers to listen to.

The search word for Finnish tango in Finnish is suomalainen tango.

This song is so Bojere coded. 🥹 💚❤️

Kuumaa

Laavaa ihon alla

Vaeltaa

Ku katsot mua hiljaa

Hot

Lava flows

Under my skin

When you watch me silently

Huumaa

Sun tuoksu aina uudestaan

Mut huumaa

Savuu ja vaniljaa

Your scent

Intoxicates me

Over and over again

Smoke and vanilla

Tiedän kyl joo

Muualla sua ootetaan

Ei parempaa aikaa oo

Vielä sut saan uskomaan

Yes, I know

They're waiting you elsewhere

There's no better time

I'm going to make you believe

Ennen aamuu vielä ehtii

Vasten näitä seinii

Oikeen paikan ettii

Hei beibi, saanko mä luvan?

There's still time before the morning

To find the right place

Against these walls

Hey baby, shall we dance?

Herätän sut henkii

Otan vähä kovemmin kii

Älä sulje sun silmii

Hei beibi, saanko mä luvan?

I'm going to make you feel alive

Hold you a little tighter

Don't close your eyes

Hey baby, shall we dance?

Aamullaki ehtii

Vasten näitä seinii

Toteuttaa unelmii

Hei beibi, saanko mä luvan?

There's still time in the morning

To make dreams come true

Against these walls

Hey baby, shall we dance?

Himmenee

Valot äänet ympärillä

Himmenee

Kun sä alat hohtaa

The lights and sounds

Dims

Around us

When you start to glow

Polttaa

Sun iho vasten mun ihoo

Se polttaa

Ku meiän huulet kohtaa

It burns

Your skin against mine

Burns

When our lips meet

Kuiskaa vaan joo

Niin mä oon sun kokonaan

Kauneuteen ja kohtaloon

Vielä sut saan uskomaan

Just whisper yes

And I'm all yours

I'm going to make you believe

In beauty and faith

Tähdet on täydellisen kohdallaan

Ja meil on tää yksi elämä vaan

Tanssitaan

Beibi sä oot taikaa

The stars are perfectly aligned

And we only have this one life

Lets dance

Baby, you're magic

(I took some liberties with the translation, I hope there isn't any bad mistakes).

[drugsforaddicts]

Okay hi, so I just need to scream about this one bojere coded song we’ve completely missed

Kun uni haparoivin sormin luomet yhteen sulattaa

Tulet mieleen huolettomin askelin

On jälleen kesäyö ja rannan tuoksu tihkuu kuusamaa

Hymyilet taas niin kuin silloinkin

En enää muista kasvojas tai mitä mulle sanoitkaan

Mutta muistan miten katsoit

Miten sait mut hehkumaan

//

Kun katsoit minuun

Kaiken muun mä unohdin

Kun katsoit minuun

Vain sinun olla halusin

Kun katsoit minuun

Sytyin sylissäs ja paloin

Silloin rakastaa sua aloin

Kun sä katsoit minuun hetken niin

I’m just gonna leave this stuff here okay byeeee

AEAEAEAEAEAEAAAAAA NOOOOOOO!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 HOW DARE!!!! The only day I’m taking a break from this hellsite and then I get blasted right in the feels 😭😭😭😭😭😭

UMK 2024 Song Review - Sara Siipola

The hype is very real around Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK), the Finnish national selection for Eurovision and the race to Malmö continues with a ballad this time!

Sara Siippola - Paskana

Sara Siipola is fairly a new name in the sky of Finnish female artists. She kind of popped out of nowhere making a record deal with Sony Music in 2019 and releasing her first singles which were fairly successful. She also released her debut album "Kaunis Kun Itken" two years later and last year she was seen in popular music tv-show "Tähdet, Tähdet".

Still never heard of of her before and the artist announcement did nothing to me.

Paskana is power song that gives no hope. It's very raw lyrically and vocally.

It's a modern ballad with immediate hook. The song itself is not a traditional power ballad but does instrumentally push its boundaries. The electronic beat has 80's sound which also reminds many of the Russian girl duo t.A.T.u's sound. R'n'b beat separates it from an average ESC ballad and makes this super easy to listen.

Sara's voice can be compared to Amy Winehouse's being capable of interpreting the painful text brilliantly. The topic of being "paskana" which is translated as fucking wreck, is easily relatable. Social media quickly filled on Monday night with heartfelt comments from people around the world crying and feeling this song.

This is simply captivating - you can't pass this without stopping to listen to this and feeling what she sings. This will translate across language barriers.

ESC doesn't allow swearing so in case of winning UMK Sara would have to find another title for her song which might be a difficult task. There have been hopes of her translating this into English or pieces of it but I do hope this masterpiece remained in Finnish. Also this would differ quite a lot from our previous ESC entries. The last time we heard a female ballad from Finland was in 2017 with NormaJohn.

In a scenario where she didn't win UMK she might be the next Bess (Ram pam pam, 2022) or Kuumaa (Ylivoimainen, 2023) which either were the winning acts but made the biggest hits of their careers with the help of UMK. Reactions have been positive everywhere you go and her UMK videoclip has already been viewed over 240 000 (more than Sexmane) times. She's on her way to stardom!

What do you think of the third UMK24 track and would you vote for Sara Siipola to go all the way to Malmö? UMK final takes place on February 10th!

Mä luulin että homoviiva liittyy jotenkin kädestä ennustamiseen. (Hyi olin unohtanut että hilloviiva on edes olemassa oleva sana, se on kauhea)

tästä tuli mieleen tosi tarina:

mun siskolla on kaveri joka on hurahtanu nii pahasti horoskooppeihin että se on opiskellu tekemään ihmisille tähtikarttoja. se teki jonkun tuttunsa kartan ja huomasi että ilmeisesti tän tyypin tähdet saneli että tyyppi on superhomo (se on oikeastikin) joten se pyysi mun siskolta mun syntymähetkitietoni että se vois katsoa et onko mun homouteni kirjotettu tähtiin

ei ollu >:(

(ei en oo koskaan tavannu tätä tyyppiä lmao)

International stars are waiting in Finland for fans who are in a debt of gratitude

Louis Tomlinson came to Finland unlike many other big stars, and that's why he has exceptionally grateful fans here.

Piritta Räsänen HS

BRITISH ARTIST Louis Tomlinson performed on Monday evening at the Helsinki Ice Hall. Finally, if you ask the fans.

I followed the atmosphere before the gig in front of the ice rink. Excitement was in the air as fans finished fan projects for the artist, purchased fan merchandise and lined up for permanto spots.

One thing was repeated in the fans' speeches: Louis is wonderful because he cares about his fans and also visits smaller countries on his tours that many miss.

In recent years, Finland has also increasingly been included in the countries falling in between.

MONDAY's show is Tomlinson's first appearance in Finland as a solo artist. The last time he took the stage in Finland was in 2015 as part of the boy band One Direction.

Later that year, the band went on a long hiatus, which in a way is still ongoing, because the band has never officially said that they have stopped. The band members started working on their solo career, and they haven't been seen in Finland since.

For example, One Direction's arguably most famous member, Harry Styles, performed in the summer of 2022 in Stockholm and Oslo. Finland had to miss out. Next spring [2024], the Irishman Niall Horan's tour, another member of the band, will cover Denmark, Norway and Sweden, but he will not be seen on the other side of the Gulf of Bothnia.

Of course, the problem is not limited to the members of the most popular boy band of the 2010s.

HS already reported last summer that big names are now touring Finland from far away. The problem is especially that Helsinki lacks a modern indoor arena, while Helsinki Hall is on the banned list due to its Russian owners.

It has also always been geographically more difficult to come to Finland than, for example, Sweden, where you can continue from Denmark. Instead, a ferry connection is needed to Finland, because the gig equipment cannot be moved through Russia.

Finns accept their fate in a kind of "no need to cook for me" spirit. However, if a world star gets lost on his tour all the way here, we feel at least a slight debt of gratitude towards the artist.

Finland's problems did not hinder TOMLINSON's tour.

At Monday's gig, the gratitude of the fans hardly went unnoticed: in the course of a couple of hours, several fan projects made by the audience were seen, some of which were already planned last year.

In one of them, the fans raised signs in the air that read "Thank you for having faith in Finland", i.e. thank you for believing in Finland.

After the concert in Helsinki, Tomlinson headed to Tallinn and Riga. Today, Friday, he will perform in Kaunas, which is the second largest city in Lithuania. In terms of population, Kaunas is slightly larger than Tampere.

Otherwise, you would find a modern indoor arena there.

ERIC CLAPTON "MEANWHILE" (EPC Enterprises/Surfdog) 2024

electric blues/ adult pop

Against the background of news about Clapton's age-related health problems, many (including me, for example) we have already got used to the idea that the living god is preparing to retire. The more surprising is the appearance of a new product, which Eric even decided to release a few months earlier than planned. The content is as predictable as possible, but therefore does not lose its charm: This is old-fashioned companionable blues mixed with vintage covers like "Moon River" (featuring the late Jeff Beck). If it turns out to be a farewell, it will remain a pleasant memory.

COLDPLAY "MOON MUSIC" (Parlophone) 2024

pop rock, lyrical pop

Moon Music": the album demonstrates what this music would be like if it didn't jump out of your pants to get on the radio. Just like that: sincere, soft and even a little vulnerable.

Rufus Du Sol – «Inhale / Exhale»11.10.2024

Inhale/Exhale is the fifth album by the Grammy–winning Australian electronic band Rufus Du Sol. This time they touched on the eternal themes of "romance, heartbreak, euphoria and despair." This is also a new stage in the band's career: now they strive to "just enjoy the process" and "create in the moment." Three singles "Inhale / Exhale" entered the top 40 of the Billboard dance/electronic songs chart: "Music Is Better", "Lately" and "Break My Love".

Sam Abbo - Add To The Noise (2024)

alternative | freak-folk | avant-honky-tonk I singer songwriter | uk

Sam has created several projects on the Brighton experimental scene. some even got to the BBC ;)) Abbo owns a piano, guitars of all stripes, including a Clarophone (Clarophone Banjo), from here it grew-the idea to play his own honky tonk adventure broke through;)) it turned out to be very thoughtful even;))

VanWyck - Dust Chaser (2024)

americana | alt-folk | alternative | acoustic | singer-songwriter | amsterdam

Hello there. let's try to get into a rut... meanwhile, VanVik is already on the air;))

Joose Keskitalo & The Mystic Revelation of Teppo Repo - Tähdet palaavat paikoilleen (2024)

"When the stars return to their places,

The original shadows of delusion will disappear

And they will begin to gain wisdom."

gloomy Sami romantics return the stars to their places, and when they come into contact with the music of this miraculous creative symbiosis, sensitive and sensitive listeners have an irresistible desire to reach the heavenly bodies together;)) turn it on, enjoy, stretch;))

P.s..And the music is beautiful! ... and they take care of the silence)

DAWN RICHARD AND SPENCER ZAHN "QUIET IN A WORLD FULL OF NOISE" (Merge) 2024

ambient pop, pop soul

Soul vocalist Dawn Richard has never been content with pure style. Instead, she uses R&B as a starting point to find some new intonations, techniques, and sound. In 2022, this led her to work with pianist Spencer Zahn. Their first album together, "Pigs", seemed to connect two worlds: chamber jazz and art soul. The sequel goes even further: now it's practically ambient based on frozen R&B, the music of silver snowflakes. Insinuating and very beautiful.

Seventeen – "Spill the Feelings" on October 14th

The return of Seventeen is one of the main k-pop groups of our time. Their previous releases "FML" (2023) and "Seventh Heaven" (2023) set records for millions of pre-orders. There is no doubt that "Spill the Feelings" will be among the top bestsellers of 2024. Seventeen's new album promises to showcase the band's creative evolution and show their individual sides. And also to tell a fascinating story that is close to everyone.

The album "Tension" (2023) became, perhaps, the most successful in the late discography of Kylie Minogue. The hit "Padam Padam" not only returned the 55-year-old singer to the chart, but also took second place in her career"The Grammys." "Tension II" is the sequel to "Tension", its "high-energy, high-octane version". In general, the legend of pop music has prepared another release with dance hits of the highest standard. It featured Sia, Bibi Rexa, Tove Lu, Diplo and The Blessed Madonna.

Pixies – «The Night the Zombies Came»25.10.2024

In 2024, bassist Paz Lenshantin left Pixies and was replaced by Emma Richardson. How well she knows the instrument can be assessed on the band's new album "The Night the Zombies Came". Pixies frontman Black Francis described it as "fragments connected and juxtaposed with other fragments in other songs." According to Francis, the album is a collection of tracks reminiscent of a movie. The producer of the material was Tom Dalgety, who has been working closely with Pixies for several years now

The authors of the hit "Pompeii" Bastille present an unusual project: "&" are not just songs, but stories about interesting people. In "Eve & Paradise Lost" Bastille sings about the biblical Eve, and in "Leonard & Marianne" – about Leonard Cohen and his muse Marianne Ihlen. Maybe the band's new tracks don't sound as hit as their early work, but it's interesting to listen to them and read the lyrics. Frontman Dan Smith certainly has a talent for storytelling.
