Music of Finland
Finland is a big snowy country where lots of people live. And just like people everywhere, Finnish people love making music! In fact, music is really important to them and they have lots of different kinds of music that they like to play and listen to.
One type of Finnish music is called "folk music." This is music that has been passed down from one generation to the next over many years. Some folk songs are really old - some even date back to the Middle Ages! Finnish folk music is often played using instruments like the kantele, which is a type of stringed instrument that looks a bit like a harp.
Another kind of music that Finnish people love is heavy metal! That might sound a bit scary to you as a five-year-old, but lots of grown-ups really enjoy listening to this type of music, which often has loud guitars and drums. In fact, Finland is famous for its heavy metal music - some of the most popular bands in the world come from there!
But not all Finnish music is heavy - some of it is really beautiful and peaceful. There is a type of choral music called "Finnish Sisu" that is very popular. This is music that is sung by lots of people together, and it often has really calming melodies that can make you feel happy and relaxed.
So, that's a bit of what Finnish music is like! Whether it's folk music, heavy metal, or choral singing, Finnish people love making and listening to all kinds of music.
