My Blood: Pekko Käppi & K:H:H:L with "Mun Vereni"



Warning! Before you watch this video, be aware that there is some sexual imagery in the form of a sex toy at the beginning of the video.

Today's random tune is by Pekko Käppi & K:H:H:L, a band from Finland led by Käppi who has been described by fRoots as "Finland’s wild man of the jouhikko (bowed lyre)." A folk music composer and singer as well, he changed the sound of the jouhikko by plugging it into an amplifier and by incorporating blues and rock into his playing. The result sounds like deep roots American south firmly lodged in traditional and contemporary Finland. This song, Mun Vereni, can be found on their 2015 album Sanguis Meus, Mama! and on the various artists compilation Arctic Paradise 2015.

Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
