Puhti is a unique two women's folk music and dance group that gets its inspiration from the Karelian culture. The music graduate Anna-Mari Kivimaki plays accordion and the choreographer Reetta-Kaisa Pirhonen dances and both of them sing. Puhti is a mixture of crazy hurly-burly, at times sensitizing, happy and bathetic cooperation of a dancer and a musician. The group founded in the year 2001 from the initiative of the accordionist Maria Kalaniemi, brings new perspectives to Finnish folk dance and music. The program of Puhti is made of three different pieces: the sensual Otatus, the easy-going Ilja and humoristic Kantelehenkilo. Puhti was nominated as the festival ensemble of the 2006 Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, which is also when the duo published its first record. Read more on Last.fm.
