“Meidän Täytyy Päästä Täältä” (2017) – Joose Keskitalo * Written and produced by Joose Keskitalo * CD: Julius Caesarin Anatomia * Label: Helmi Levyt
With Julius Caesarin Anatomia (Julius Caesar’s Anatomy), Joose Keskitalo is now eight albums deep in his resolutely Finnish (language and mentality) songwriting career. The title of this highlight with the Kalo (Finnish Roma) vibe translates to “we need to get out of here,” but you listen and wish he’ll stick around in whatever language he wants. Joose’s brother Alex handles the vocals, and the lead instrument is a bandoneon, the type of accordion favored in the tango music so many Finns adore.
