The first Mimmit CD Hats Hats Harakkainen (Plastinka) has been released on the 22.10.2008
Mimmit: new Finno-Karelian world music for children!
Mimmit is an exiting duo of two sisters coming from a small village called Rääkkylä near the Russian
border in eastern Finland. Mimmit are full of song and dance and inevitably put any audience in a good spirits!
The Hats, Hats Harakkainen CD consists of 10 infectious original compositions by Mimmit.
The Hats Hats Harakkainen CD is full of characters straight out of Finno-Karelian mythology: creatures of the Forest, princesses, mermaids, water-elves, trolls and characters from Kalevala like the Magical Giant Eagle and the Witch of Lappland.
The Mimmit CD Hats Hats Harakkainen is built on a unique concept: world music for children and the young-at-heart based on modern Finno-Karelian music. The fresh sound of the CD is due to the use of different ethnic acoustic instruments.
