Celebrate Kantele Day with our playlist
In Finland, there are about 5,000 kantele players, 70 music schools where you can learn the instrument, and about a hundred professionals teaching it. Finland's national instrument, the kantele, also has its own holiday on September 16th, the Kantele Day, organized by Kanteleliitto.
To celebrate Kantele Day, we compiled a Spotify playlist filled with kantele music from Finland, ranging from contemporary sounds to more traditional ones. Dig into the newest sounds coming from an ancient instrument from the playlist embedded below – or go straight to Spotify and save the list to your favorites!
