From the west coast of Finland derives the band La Riippa Group which has its roots deep in the soil of Ostrobothnian traditional musicianship but travel far and wide in their musical interpretation.

Bandleader and vocalist Riippa represents fiery drama and the stories are sung both in English and the Swedish dialect from the village of Nedervetil. The band consists of five members and in their sound one is able to hear the creaking of the stage at the local pub, the plucking of various tango rhythms and the purling of the Nordic-style jazz.
