Kirka, Muska, Sammy, Anna, Ykä - Babitzin

Review by Lise Thompson

Babitzin is a collaborative album that features the talents of Kirka, Muska, Sammy, Anna, and Ykä. This album is a tribute to the Finnish musician Pave Maijanen, who was also known as Pave's Band. The album features covers of some of Pave's most popular songs, as well as some original tracks.

The album starts off with a high-energy rendition of "Jäniksen vuosi," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The vocal performances on this album are exceptional, with each artist bringing their own unique style and flair to the songs. The harmonies on tracks like "Laulu rakkaudelle" and "Kuinka voit" are particularly impressive.

The instrumentation on this album is also top-notch, with the musicians perfectly capturing the spirit of Pave's music. The guitar work on "Kuinka voit" and "Elämän tarkoitus" is especially noteworthy, as is the keyboard work on "Gloria."

Summary by Lise Thompson

Babitzin is a fantastic tribute to Pave Maijanen and a great showcase for the talents of Kirka, Muska, Sammy, Anna, and Ykä. Fans of Finnish music and Pave's Band in particular will definitely want to check out this album.
