These are the elements that make up BFP, before known as Bergå Folk Project, a group formed by Finnish professional folk musicians. On their self released debut album, 'Bergå Folk Project' (2022), they perform a suite of folksongs, originally gathered together and arranged by the Italian contemporary composer Luciano Berio. In this album BFP seeks out to bring the folk songs that inspired Berio back to their roots with new, innovative arrangements. The group’s international repertoire sung in eight languages and played with twelve different instruments presents the audience a variety of world- and folk music styles along with powerful performances and awe-inspiring artistry. The debut album has been collecting great reviews in Finland and worldwide, and it got rewarded as the best ethno album of the year in Finnish Grammies Emmagaala.
BFP consists of Aili Järvelä, Iida Savolainen, Esko Grundström and Topi Korhonen.
