K ppee from v rttin album ilmatar 2000


Ilmatar is Värttinä's 8th album, released in 2000.

Contents

The album is named for the Finnish goddess of air Ilmatar who, according to the creation story in the Kalevala, creates the world from two eggs from the eagle Kokko (which is also the name of an earlier Värttinä album). A version of this story (in English and Finnish) is printed in the liner notes of the United States release.
