Lepistö & Lehti

Lepistö & Lehti Is A Critically Acclaimed Duo Of Finnish Master Musicians Markku Lepistö Accordion And Pekka Lehti Bass . As A Result Of Creative Conversations While Seated Next To Each Other On Värttina Tours The Duo Decided To Embark On A New Musical Mission Together. Both Well-Respected Finnish Music Virtuosos In Their Own Right Lepistö & Lehti Play Original Material From Their Respective Projects Approaching The Material From A New Angle. The Duo Operates At The Forefront Of Contemporary Nordic World Music But At The Same Time Their Sound Could Be Described As Having A Distinct Chamber Music Influence. On Stage Lepistö & Lehti Share A Vision Of Contemporary Minimalism. There Is Space Within This Music And The Two Musicians Each Have A Different Musical History To Tap Into. This Translates Into A Highly Personal Sound With Remarkable Confidence And Vision. In October 2008 Lepistö & Lehti's Debut Album Helsinki Was Shortlisted For The Prestigious Teosto Award In Finland. The Prize Is Granted Annually For An Outstanding Musical Achievement. read less
