Jazz Finland Live
Kadi Vija 3,Musiikkitalon terassi, helsinki27.6. At 17:00
Free entry
Kadi Vija 3 is a Helsinki based group, whose music is full of joy and freedom to experiment improvisation and communication.
Called as a rare instrument, Kadi Vija's unique approach to singing and improvisation is influenced by instrumental jazz music, flowing thoughts and abstraction. The group's instrumentation and Vija's compositions are reminiscent of traditional wind trio format, where the human voice now interprets the melodies usually played by wind instruments, accompanied by double bass player Mikael Saastamoinen (known as the bassist in Linda Fredriksson Juniper's band) and drummer Ville Luukkonen.

The concerts feature talented musicians from the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki, as well as other Finnish artists. Throughout the summer, the stage will host a diverse range of interesting artists from different genres: mainly pop music on Thursdays, jazz on Fridays. Additionally, the programme includes interesting performances from the fields of contemporary folk and classical music. The early summer Thursday afternoons are dedicated to the Radio Helsinki KESÄLIVE.

Crème de la Pop

Kristóf Kövér – guitar, vocals
Ferenc Korbeli – guitar, vocals

Originally formed by four (+1) members who don't speak a word of French, the band made a sacred vow in the spring of 2013: to join forces and save their favorite Hungarian pop songs from the 1990s from fading into oblivion. And what better way to do that, they thought, than to blend these hits with another endangered musical treasure? Enter manouche – the 1930s French swing style made famous by Django Reinhardt. Crème de la Pop brings this style back to life through the songs of Hip Hop Boyz, Sing Sing, Carpe Diem, and many more. Long live the '90s! Vive le Swing!
