Album Description
Performed on steel-string acoustic guitar and the Arabic ‘ud and recorded and filmed live in concert in Helsinki, Finland, on September 19th, 2025, sayr: kaiho is divided into three arcs – “halla” (“frost” in Finnish); “fes” (in homage to the Moroccan medina where he bought his first oud); and “vielä” (“yet” in Finnish).
With “kaiho” referring to longing or nostalgia in Finnish – akin to “saudade” in Portuguese and Galician –, the live recording highlights to stunning effect Reijonen’s deep relationships with the sonorities of two string instruments that not only have become so entangled with his own memories, but also share between them a deep historical lineage.
