Is Finland the new ‘promised land’ of country music? Well, that’s easy to believe when you listen to ‘Tell Me How’, the new country duet by Halava.
Halava is a Finnish music house run by a married pianist-drummer couple, Minna and Miri Miettinen. Halava is releasing a full country album during the spring 2022. ‘Tell Me How’ is the title track from this upcoming album, featuring two roots artists Mika Kuokkanen and Kaisa Leskinen.
Mika Kuokkanen is a well-established roots and country artist both in Finland and abroad. Mika is the founder of Hoedown, a Finnish roots band. As well as in Finland Mika has worked with many international musicians, for example, Levon Helm, Eric Bibb, Joshua James, John Boutte and Dirk Powell.
Kaisa Leskinen is a singer, who has become known to the wider audience by The Voice of Finland-contest. Kaisa is finalizing her solo album during this year.
In November 2021 Kaisa featured as a soloist on the Halava-single ‘Learn to love’, which is the first single from the upcoming Halava country album.
‘Tell Me How’ (music & lyrics by Minna Miettinen) describes the strength of love. Love will survive the winter’s cold days, through the summer’s bloom –all the way to the shorter days of a fall.
‘You will have my love as long as the days go,
I will love you as long as days go on.’
