LOIMOLAN VOIMA

In Loimolan Voima's concerts, the music, together with the Karelian and Finnish storytelling, moves forward in a unique way. The overall acoustic look is enhanced now and then by bubbling synthesizers and a beat tapped by an old drum machine. A Looper also has its own role in the duo’s live performances. On the other hand, all-acoustic moments are also part of Loimolan Voima's concert experience.

Yhtyeen muodostavat juuriltaan suistamolaiset veljekset, Tuusulassa asuva Mika ”Miša” Saatsi ja Jyväskylässä vaikuttava Niko ”Miikku” Saatsi. Miša vastaa sävellyksistä ja Miikku kirjoittaa tekstit suoraan karjalaksi.

Kotoperäinen karjalan kieli on yksi Suomen uhanalaisista aarteista. Loimolan Voima on todiste siitä, ettei karjalaisuus ole kuollut, vaan että se elää aikaansa seuraten ja jatkuvasti uudistuen myös nykyajassa.
