Jazz Finland Live

A perfect setting for an August night: easy-going, sunny reggae and deep dub combined with the sound of an accordion from the streets of Paris in days gone by… When the long-term reggae musician Winston McAnuff joined forces with the Parisian producer wizard Fixi, the unlikely equation took everyone by surprise. But the combo works like a charm – McAnuff and Fixi’s energetic, captivating stage show has thrilled audiences all over the world.

The reggae night at the Huvila Festival Tent opens with the easy-going grooves of Reino Nordin. The velvety sounds will spur your feel-good hormones into action.

Reino Nordin starts at 7PM Winston McAnuff & Fixi start at 8.30PM. Doors: 6PM.

Juhlat (Fete) is a new kind of performance concept, a composite of drama and jazz concert, exploring the themes of money, family and art.

You are invited to witness the birthday celebrations of the 60-year-old Matti Holma, Finland’s most industrous entrepreneur in heavy equipment. There will be juicy anecdotes, speeches given by friends and relatives and as the acme of the party, a big band concert by Sointi Jazz Orchestra. The party turns into a domestic row, however, when the younger generation calls their father’s capitalist values into question. Without money there would be no concert but is art to be reduced to exclusive entertainment for those with capital? To whom does high art belong in today’s world?

Performances: 16 Aug / 18 Aug / 19 Aug and 20 Aug
