Jazz Finland Live

Ville ja Valle is a colourful children’s music production based on the classic children’s album Muusa ja Ruusa created by Eero Koivistoinen in 1972. The production includes new versions of favourite settings of the poetry of Kirsi Kunnas from the original album, such as ‘Jussin talo’ (Jussi’s house), ‘Mistä on pienet pojat tehty?’ (What are little boys made of?) and ‘Muusa ja Ruusa’ (Muusa and Ruusa). New material includes lyrics contributed by Timo Kiiskinen, Mikko Perkoila and Jukka Itkonen. All the music is by Eero Koivistoinen.

The concert features the 17-piece UMO big band and singer Johanna Försti, who is known from the TV-show Tanssii tähtien kanssa (Dances with the stars), as soloist. The orchestra is conducted by composer Eero Koivistoinen.

The Ville ja Valle CD was released in September 2013, and features singer Vesa-Matti Loiri and rap-artist Gracias in addition to Johanna Försti and UMO. Part of the proceeds from the sale of every copy will be donated to the New Children’s Hospital 2017 campaign.
