Jimmy Träskelin & Tallari: Lähtölaulu. A Song of Departure
Jimmy Träskelin & Tallari: Lähtölaulu. A Song of Departure, KICD 142
The album Lähtölaulu - A Song of Departure includes a selection of songs which evoke the undertakings and feelings of the immigrants in the new country, as well as the emotions of those who were left behind in the old one. Behind the exhilarating and haunting verses we glimpse both staple charaters of Finnish-Ammerican music (such as accordionist Viola Turpeinen and songwriter Arthur Kylander) and voices that were left in oblivion. All of them are tied together, in one way or another, by the enduring impact that the mesmerizing call of America had on their lives.
