Jaakko ja hänen mahtava ukulelensa

Bio:

Jaakko ja hänen mahtava ukulelensa (it means 'Jaaakko and his amazing ukulele' in Finnish) is formed by G and by a ukulele. G sings and the ukulele is played.
G lives in Helsinki, Finland but he comes from Valtellina, (a valley in the Alps) where he used to play in Skoda and Caven.
G formed his first band on the shore of an East-German lake in the summer of 1989.
The music of G is inspired by AMIGA and MELODIYA records, the ones you can buy in fleamarkets in central Europe.
G is no bedroom tween, he is a grown-up man, has an academic job and a family.
