The Brief

Finnish accordion virtuoso Antti Paalanen breaks all boundaries with a sound that fuses folk, techno, and raw physical energy. Known for his growling vocals and intense stage presence, he transforms the accordion into a living rhythm machine. With albums like Breathbox, Meluta (Nordic Council Prize nominee), and Rujo, Paalanen has built a sonic universe where tradition meets minimalism and electronic power.
