Album Description

Birds have played an important role in human history in stories and myths that describe the creation of the world, the birth of life, the creation of fire, the changing of the seasons, and the messengers of omens. The music contains elements of both the playful and the sacred while combining jazz, Finnish folk, and improvisation. Rent Romus, Heikki Koskinen and The Otherworld Ensemble present Soul Bird, a musical odyssey of mythic Finno-Ugric/Uralic bird stories. The spark originally came from the stories of the Siberian Jay, also known in Finland as ‘kuukkeli’, which is found throughout the Arctic regions of the world. In Finland, as well as in other Finno-Ugric cultural myths, this small, brave and charismatic bird is considered to be the carrier of human souls to and from the afterlife of Manala (the Underworld).
