$LAU NAU and Pekko K\u00e4ppi$

Part of Tradfest 2024
Join us for a very special evening of music from two of Finland’s most visionary musicians.
Pekko Käppi is Finland’s ‘wild man of the jouhikko’, a visionary Finnish folk music composer, singer and instrumentalist who has revolutionised the standards of playing the ancient Finnish lyre. LAU NAU (aka Laura Naukkarinen) is one of the foremost voices in Finland’s contemporary music scene. Frequently working with film, her music has a cinematic breadth of vision, and her idiosyncratic, finely honed sound world builds on fragile, spectral otherness.
Naukkarinen and Kappi come together for one night only, to celebrate their recent collaboration on Katja Gauriloff’s new film, JE’VIDA, screening at Edinburgh Cameo as part of the Folk Film Gathering 2024 .
