Gypsy jazz piece out of old song

[mikko.karhula]

Hi!

Here is beautiful gypsy jazz style waltz that is orginally a Finnish song called Karjalan kaunis Kerttu (Engl. Beautiful Kerttu from Karelia). It's made by Matti Jurva and Tatu Pekkarinen somewhere around end of 30's and beginning of 40's. I fell in love with the song that has so beautiful melody, harmony and story. It's about love and longing for Kerttu who stayed in Viipuri. The singer hopes to see her again, marry her and have a wedding in Pyöreä Torppa. The song is made in a time when Finland was in war with Russia and lost Viipuri and most of Karelia Region.




Cheers, Mikko
