The dancer Kaja Kann and the sound artist Juha Valkeapää have been
creating songs since childhood. The show they are doing in Kanuti Gildi
SAAL has been shown at different Lokaals in Europe and all over the
world. The group comes together every once in a while. The audience
will certainly hear their infamous piece “Money” and other well-known
and much heard songs.
The repertoire of the duet Kann/Valkepää
consists of very varied pieces. They have been inspired by the old rock
legend Mark Lanegan as well as Ali Farka Toure. 2 guitars and an
overwhelming voice that will however leave space for physical movement.
It will most certainly not leave the audience tepid as the
Kann/Valkeapää duet has received both very positive and very negative
responses, they have been loved and hated. It is obvious that the band
enjoys their performance sharing this delight with the audience even
though their songs lack classic structure and easily recognizable
reprises.
