Folk and world music festival Sommelo is set to take place June 26-29, 2024. Sommelo is a unique festival held on both sides of the Finnish-Russian border, in the historical landscape of Kainuu and Viena Karelia.
This year, Sommelo’s program includes performances ranging from Cheick Cissokho’s (Finland/Senegal) and Dembo Jobarteh’s (Gambia) kora concert to Duo Ruut (Estonia), who combine Estonian kantele music and singing, delivering it with a minimalistic sound.
Finnish folk musicians and bands such as Lassi Logrén, Kymmenkieli and Oskari Lehtonen are also on the Sommelo bill this year.
