The first one with the pithy name Värttinä , was released as a self-financed album in the summer of 1987. They were busy making it after Värttinä was chosen to be the band of the year in Kaustinen folk music festival and they didn’t have their own recording yet. It says something about the pace of the process that the album was recorded durning one weekend in April in Osuuspankki’s cottage in Rääkkylä. In practice, the music was played live in the studio and taped. From Värttinä – On the Wanderer’s Road and the Red Carpet, Kimmo Nevalainen).
