While editing this video I researched a bit and it seems like most of the songs in this video are Iskelmä style (popular songs, a lot with a folk twist to it). Perhaps music that is very popular in Finland but not well known in other countries. Well, it was great anyways, and we will sleep less stupid tonight, lol!
Iskelmä or schlager music refers in general to all traditional pop music to which pairs can dance to (waltz, tango, salsa Etc.) There's also some genres included, which derives from folk music or have folk elements; like jenkka, which is a Finnish version of chottische and humppa, which combines jazz and fast foxtrot. This jenkka song might be familiar to you: "Colin Watt Letkajenkka". As might be the original song of this humppa version: "Eläkeläiset - Hump (Jump)". Quite a few of those songs on the list are originally foreign songs (Italian, Greek, Swedish Etc.) performed with Finnish lyrics and arrangements. Explains partly why the songs are allover the place. You also picked the humorous side correctly, because there's quite a few songs with humorous lyrics. Maybe this ("Nylon Beat - Rakastuin mä looseriin") sounded familiar to you, because K-pop versions has been made from it: "[STATION] aespa 에스파 'Dreams Come True' MV". Finland is known for metal music-also for folk and classical music-but metal isn't the most popular genre in Finland. It's the genre, which bands tend to sing in English, unlike most others do. Finnish language has traditionally created a language barrier for Finnish artists and bands to break abroad. That might be changing, though, as E.g. Käärijä's popularity shows. The most influential Finnish band is probably Hanoi Rocks: "Hanoi Rocks- Dont' You Ever Leave Me (Music Video)".
At The beginnig - three out of four - IS TAPIO RAUTAVAARA ! Take a look at Wikipedia - WHO He was ? So this wasnt His only TALENT - that He had - as He was known All Over - The World already !
There IS an artist called EINO GRÖN time 2min 05sek ! He sings TANGO - that IS The National music of South Americas Argentine ! As Finland IS The most drinking Coffee Nation - as #1 - World wide ! So this kind of music has landed to Finland - Big Time ! As He IS from an Island called REPOSAARI - that IS famous that an Hollywood movie - WHITE NIGHTS - was filmed there ! If You know Greats like Isabella ROSSELINI - Gregory HINES - You surely have heard of this movie ! The plot takes place at USSR - but HOLLYWOOD wasnt allowed to film there ! The movie IS on UA-cam to watch !
Schlager (Iskelmä) music is listened to a lot in Finland. Especially among the older age group, but nowadays also among younger people to an increasing extent. You can go and listen and dance to it on the spot. At the same time, it is a social event where you see friends and get to know new ones. Maybe even find a spouse. And Dancing is also hard exercise and practicing body coordination.
Yeah, 1971 Fredi -Rakkaustarina --> Finnish cover of the soundtrack song (Where do I begin) Love Story from the movie Love Story (1970) 1972 Fredi- Puhu hiljaa rakkaudesta ---> Finnish cover of the soundtrack song Speak softly love from the movie Godfather (1972) 1999 Nylon Beat - South Korean kpop girl groups S.E.S in 1998 and Aespa in 2021 made a cover called "Dreams come true" of a song "Rakastuin Mä looseriin" (Like a fool) song from 1996.
Greetings from Finland!!! You should check out Him - Join me, Sentenced - Noose, Poison black - home is where sty is, Nightwish - walking in the air... "I'll be back" 😎
When I think of Finnish music, it's bands like Kamikuttonen, Sielun Veljet, Fucking Finland/World, Electric Blue Peggy Sue and the Revolutionions from Mars, 22 Pistepirkko, Good evening Manchester...
I wass surprised that there was no song called OLEN SUOMALAINEN - by Kari Tapio ? This is a song that every Italian knows as - IL solo Italiano by TOTO ! Not too many know The Italian - in Finland - ( except Pizza ) but their music is quite popular... as they most sing only in Italian !
It's as same as german schlager. You don't really like it but after couple beers you do sing along. There was some artist I have never heard. Anyways, you have found your spot bc finnish and swedish watch reactions pretty much.
The Best known song is DARUDE - SANDSTORM - on UA-cam ! The other Artist has a long way to Go ! Everybody who has been to Finland reconize - the RUN thru Helsinki - and some has watched the Video twice ? - if You look at the numbers ? Finnish Music - is like Finnish Baseball - that everybody knows in America ?
Another One IS Bomfunk Mcs - Freestyler ! IT has been filmed at Helsinkis brand - railservice now called as METRO ! The City Helsinki asked People what The Subway - Underground - Tunnelbana - should be called and METRO won by huge marginal ! Many in Europe knows METRO and so surely many has watched the video too ? When We have winter up here - IT IS nice to travel safe underground just wear Your shorts and fur hat ! This Song IS futuristic - still at 2024 !
Thank you!! This is quite slim take on Finnish music but the the video would become really long if it had included more songs. This video really was more about one style. This one is also a good one. It shows the evolution of Finnish rock through out the years. ua-cam.com/video/G_lz8-wUMk4/v-deo.html the tittle of the video translates to "The Evolution of Finnish rock - 100 rock songs with one take" There is a band playin all the songs and they really did it with one take. Finland is known for their metal bands. Metal and rock is also very popular in Finland. The most famous Finnish band that is also known through out the world is a Symphonic metal band called Nightwish. I recommend watching their performances at one point :)
This and others similars music sum ups consist way too short examples (3-4 sec) to really know anything about those songs. It's a shame. Look Dave Lindholm and song called "pieni ja hento ote" or Topi Sorsakoski for any song.

Also, they specifically used songs that are IN Finnish and most metal bands here sing in English.

Nice observation!

"Iskelma" is Finnish music genre, that's why songs hasn't changed much. They are picked to video based to iskelma genre.
There IS an artist called EINO GRÖN time 2min 05sek ! He sings TANGO - that IS The National music of South Americas Argentine ! As Finland IS The most drinking Coffee Nation - as #1 - World wide !

The movie IS on UA-cam to watch !
Note that this is only a certain style of finnish music evolution, this is not all of finnish music!
Exactly my reaction as a finnish person lmao

Not all of these are iskelmä (Schlager music). There's also pop music, rock music and so on. I think it's just one big radio hit from every year.
Yeah, 1971 Fredi -Rakkaustarina --> Finnish cover of the soundtrack song (Where do I begin) Love Story from the movie Love Story (1970)
1972 Fredi- Puhu hiljaa rakkaudesta ---> Finnish cover of the soundtrack song Speak softly love from the movie Godfather (1972)
1999 Nylon Beat - South Korean kpop girl groups S.E.S in 1998 and Aespa in 2021 made a cover called "Dreams come true" of a song "Rakastuin Mä looseriin" (Like a fool) song
from 1996.

Those videos were just too short. But if you liked some of those, please listen more, or the whole videos. ❤

So so so many songs are out of this list, whey there are rock and dance songs :D

Sure there was, ua-cam.com/video/fBUX5uqndMM/v-deo.html
4:19 1983 - Olen Suomalainen by Kari Tapio.
And yes, I at least know about the Italian version as well.
we have lots of heavy metal but this video is just like all genres evolution in general. But yea u should react to Finnish metal too
This is not "Iskelmä" evolution xD There is so much pop, punk and rock songs too . . .
It's as same as german schlager. You don't really like it but after couple beers you do sing along. There was some artist I have never heard. Anyways, you have found your spot bc finnish and swedish watch reactions pretty much.

Really great video. Good insights from the outside (does that make sense?)
Yes, it does!
50s were happy, after ww2
Can you do Finnish metal-video?
👍👍👍
Try Nightwish...
Show them dogs!
Nobody has listened to that since the 70s.
Minute per song would be nicer

Argentiina tangoa suomi Finlandia
You should have listened those songs
Aika synkkää :D
Ja helvetin huonoja ja noloja suurin osa! 🤣
без Taivas Lyö Tulta Pikku-Orava не считается
These are mostly bad selection of Finnish iskelmä with some exeptions.
dont get cats
