Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha - Börek (Playground Music)

Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha have already produced four previous albums featuring their typical highly infectious mix of Finnish schlagers with Balkan influences.

Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha - Näennäinen (Playground Music)

For their fourth long player Finnish Quintet Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha (supplemented for the occasion with Danish-Macedonian clarinet player Bjonko and Berlin based balalaika player Morgan Nikolay) continue where they left off with predecessor 'Lapland-Balkan' back in 2013.

Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha - Lapland-Balkan (Playground Music)

For their new album, 'Lapland-Balkan', Finnish band Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha has immersed itself in the musical traditions of the Balkans resulting in a highly festive blend of Finnish and Balkan elements.

Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha - Yö Rovaniemellä (Helmi Levyt)

Much more than in our regions in most Scandinavian countries the arrival of spring is a true cause for celebration and that also goes for Finnish Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha: gone are Finnish tango and the melancholy of their self-titled debut and instead we get 'Yö Rovaniemellä' ("a night in Rovaniemi"), an album full of up-tempo party songs in a mix of Balkan grooves, Russian party songs and Finnish iskelmä ("schlagers").
