Suomalainen tango
I promised to put links to Finnish tango songs online, so here they are!
Kuuntele suomalaista tangoa:
- Certainly the all-time best known tango song Satumaa (Unto Mononen) by singer Reijo Taipale in year 1963. (Lyrics to Satumaa here and an English translation here.)
- The Seinäjoki Tangomarkkinat Tango Festival this year 6.-10.7.2016, homepage here , apparently only in Finnish... (no international public awaited??)
- Homepage of Finland Festivals, the organiser of the Tangomarkkinat event. Information in English & picture gallery
- History of Seinäjoki Tangomarkkinat + pictures & data of the Tango King and Queen throughout the years here
- 2015 Tangokuningatar Susanna Heikki: Hernandon salaisuus (her winning performance in the Seinäjoki tango contest)
- 2015 Tangokuningas Aki Samuli singing the legendary Satumaa song on the marketplace of Nastola, his hometown after his crowning to tango king.
- A pop/rock song called Satumaan tango by Maija Vilkkumaa (1999) -- the Satumaa song lives on...
