First off, she’s a serious musician. Like, capital “M” Musician. She’s a composer, a performer, and plays all sorts of stuff, but apparently her main squeeze is the Santoor. Now, I had to Google *that* – it’s basically a Persian dulcimer, which sounds super cool. I mean, a dulcimer that sounds like it’s straight out of a Persian fairytale? Yes, please!
Based in Finland, which is kinda random but also awesome, considering the whole Persian instrument thing. A real East meets West kinda vibe, ya know? The website itself is pretty straightforward. She’s got albums (plural!), videos, and contact info if you’re, like, trying to book her for a gig or something.
What really caught my eye was the “Archive (Videos)” section. The site states she’s a professional musician and performer based in Finland, and her principal instrument is Santoor! I haven’t watched them all yet, but I’m definitely planning a deep-dive later. I’m dying to see this Santoor in action. I bet it sounds amazing. Also, this “Nomad festival” thing? Duo Santoor and Cello Performance with Sergio Castrillón. That sounds really neat. I’m a sucker for a good cello.
Okay, so, maybe the website isn’t the flashiest thing ever. It’s functional, gets the job done. But you can tell she’s putting her heart into her music. She’s even working on a movie called “La Minor!” Which, alright, kinda generic title maybe, but I’m intrigued. I’m guessing she did the score, which is just… chef’s kiss.
I gotta say, I kinda love discovering artists like this. People who are really passionate and good at what they do, and not necessarily trying to be mega-famous. It’s just about the music, you know?
