Midsummer Eve & Playlist

 24 degrees, clear blue sky, and sunshine.

Yes, Midsummer Eve 2022 is here!

The shortest night of the year is celebrated in the Nordic countries, not least here in Finland.

To celebrate this highpoint of the Nordic summer I prepared three playlists, one for each midsummer weekend days. The lists include songs sung in German, English, Finnish and Swedish, roughly in that order this weekend, from (very) different genres. 

As always, musical open-mindedness is a must. Hope you enjoy!

Let the Midsummer Eve playlist roll…

To all of you from all of me,

Happy midsummer!
