Veikko Niemelä - Kansainvälinen Tanssitaito

Review by Tina Russell

Veikko Niemelä's album Kansainvälinen Tanssitaito is a delightful collection of traditional folk music from around the world. The album features Niemelä's expert accordion playing, accompanied by a variety of instruments including guitar, bass, and percussion.

The album is a celebration of different cultures and their unique dance traditions. Each track is a journey to a different part of the world, from the lively Irish jig of "The Kesh Jig" to the romantic tango of "La Cumparsita". Niemelä's skillful playing captures the essence of each dance style, making it impossible not to tap your feet along.

One standout track is "Häävalssi", a Finnish waltz that showcases Niemelä's virtuosic accordion playing. The track is both romantic and joyful, making it a perfect choice for a wedding dance.

Kansainvälinen Tanssitaito is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates folk music and world cultures. Niemelä's passion for music and his talent on the accordion are evident in every track, making this album a true masterpiece.
