Ykän Kesäklubi is a live music club hosted by the legendary Yrjö “Ykä” Kiiskinen. Hard core performers even for the hardest to please crowds every other summer Wednesday in 45 Special!
In january 2012 three musicians from Helsinki, Finland followed their dream and travelled to Benin, West-Africa. They hooked up with virtuoso singer/percussionist Noël Saïzonou, called up the best musicians from Cotonou, and so was Helsinki-Cotonou Ensemble born.
HCE impresses it’s listener not only with intense moods and joyful yet virtuoso performances, but also with fresh and carefully crafted songwriting. As composers Saïzonou and guitarist Janne Halonen are enough far apart to make the cocktail something completely new, yet they both possess enough musicianship to complement each other’s works.
