Exploring folk music material, reconstructing and studying the tradition and having fun with it all - these are the elements that make up BFP, a special project formerly known as Bergå Folk Project, a collaboration of four Finnish professional folk musicians.
To begin its journey, BFP was commissioned a back-to-the-roots rendition of Italian contemporary composer Luciano Berio’s folk song suite. So being the repertoire partly consists of folk songs from Azerbaidžan, Armenia, Italy, the United States and France. In addition, there are songs also in Occitan, Swedish and Finnish - international repertoire presents a variety of world- and folk music styles complemented with dynamic performances, awe-inspiring artistry, innovative arrangements and passion for tradition.
The debut album 'Bergå Folk Project' (2022), collected great reviews in Finland and worldwide, and it got rewarded as the best ethno album of the year in Finnish Grammies Emmagaala. In addition to the recent name update, a four-song album ‘Encore’ of BFP originals is coming out in spring 2024.
‘Encore’ is manifesting Finnish folk music tradition not only through fresh compositions but also in the form of traditional melodies. ‘Encore’ is a solid dose of Finnish folk music made with great love: a true musical homecoming.
Encore's release date: 05/24/2024
BFP consists of Aili Järvelä, Iida Savolainen, Esko Grundström and Topi Korhonen.
