Finnish folk music is a traditional genre that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Finland. It often features instruments like the kantele, a traditional string instrument, and the accordion. The music typically includes themes of nature, love, and everyday life, often passed down through generations. The style is characterized by its unique melodies and rhythms, often accompanied by singing in the Finnish language. Folk music festivals, such as the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival, celebrate this vibrant tradition, bringing together musicians and enthusiasts to share and preserve these cultural expressions.
