Markku Lepistö Company is known as the top Finnish roots line-up since
2002 when Markku..s first solo album "Silta" was released. His fresh
language of composition wraps up together the Ostrobothnian
traditional music and the influences he has collected on his travels
round the world.
The group presents five brilliant instrumentalists who have gelled
together well over the years. Markku Lepistö (accordion), Petri Hakala
(mandolin), Jouko Kyhälä (harmonica and harmonium), Janne Viksten
(guitar, violin, banjo), and Pekka Lehti (double bass) each rank among
the most sought-after musicians in the Finnish world music scene. This
all star band serves solid acoustic grooves with beautiful melodies in
a wonderfully easygoing way.
Markku Lepistö & Companyn musiikissa Lepistön tuore sävellyskieli käärii kokoon aineksia niin pohjalaisesta traditiosta kuin matkoilta kerätyistä vaikutteista. Yhtyeen viisi taitavaa instrumentalistia ovat sulautuneet tiiviisti yhteen vuosien varrella. Markku Lepistö (1- ja 2-riviset haitarit), Petri Hakala (mandoliini), Jouko Kyhälä (harmooni ja huuliharppu), Janne Viksten (kitara, viulu ja banjo) ja Pekka Lehti (basso) tarjoilevat menevää ilottelua ja kauniita melodioita helposti lähestyttävässä muodossa. Yhtyeen jäsenet ovat ammattimuusikkoina kaikki tunnettuja monista kokoonpanoista (mm. Värttinä, Pekka Lehti & Outo Voima, J. Karjalaisen yhtyeet) ja moni myös kehutusta soolotuotannostaan.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
