Finnish Kantele-player studying folk music in Sibelius-Academy
Her own songs with traditional & new texts  

Barlast (Swedish for ballast) creates spacious new world music. The silence can be heard between the notes. Everything unnecessary is stripped away. Only the name remains as ballast.

Barlast (suomeksi painolasti) luo uutta ilmavaa maailmanmusiikkia, jonka taustalla kuuluu hiljaisuus. Tarpeeton on riisuttu pois. Ainoastaan nimestä tuli painolasti.

Barlast skapar ny världsmusik som luftar tystnaden. Allt överflödigt är borta. Endast namnet är barlast.
