Most Nordic tunes I find are named after people or the places they are from, so how rare are Critter tunes, here? 

I've been on a Badger "Critter" streak, today - even this genre has 'em! 

Ville Kangas is a Finnish fiddler and composer.  He performs with his band, this amazing piece - "A Psychedelic Badger Digs Into The Ground And Finds A Treasure" (Lefenor).

...still have trouble finding Critter tunes from the Nordic Countries - could use some help from you "Natives" up in that region!  😊

Well, well, well. 

Seems I found another Nordic Critter tune! 

"Valse du Caribou" seems like a strange name for a Finnish tune (du?), but this tune is NOTHING like the one (by the same name) in the Canadian Critter Tune Thread!  

I read that Matit ja Maijat "strive to maintain the Finnish Dance tradition and develop new folk dance".  This is from their "Finland Modern Tradition" cd.

 

 

 

I LOVE IT!

Very cool. Makes me feel like taking out my fiddle.
