Kari Oja - Huudot Sotapoikain

Review by Adam Koehler

Kari Oja's latest album, Huudot Sotapoikain, is a powerful and emotional tribute to the soldiers who fought for their country. The album features a variety of folk and patriotic songs, all performed with Oja's signature passion and intensity.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Kuninkaan marssi", a traditional Finnish marching song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, Oja takes listeners on a journey through both joyous and somber tracks, including "Sotilaspoika", "Sotilasmarssi", and "Taistele, Suomi".

Throughout the album, Oja's vocals are accompanied by a variety of instruments, including accordion, guitar, and percussion. The arrangements are simple yet effective, allowing the focus to remain on Oja's powerful voice and the emotional weight of the songs.
