Karjalasta kolttien maille (From Karelia to the Skolt Sámi Lands) project which started in 2020, explores the commonalities and special features of Karelian and Skolt Sámi culture through folk music and folklore. The unifying factors are long narrative songs, wails, dancing the katrill and various couple and circle dances, the Orthodox faith and a evacuee background. Both the Skolt Sámi and Karelian languages have suffered due to the Finnification policy. The goal of the project is to increase awareness and understanding of minority cultures and to produce new art originating from them, as well as to create a dialogue between Skolts and Karelians.
The album includes a total of 17 songs in the Skolt Sámi, Karelian and Finnish languages. The songs include, among other things, leuʹdd, poetry, lullabies, dance and play songs, and laments. Some of the songs are old and traditional, some are new compositions. The physical cd cover with lyrics in Finnish includes a QR code which enables you to read the lyrics also in English, Skolt Sámi and Karelian languages in the 28 page booklet.
