They do like their music here in Helsinki. In the summertime, there's music everywhere - buskers on nearly every street corner, free concerts in the park, trios playing in cafes. You can't get away from it, even if you wanted to, unless you had some moose you planned on visiting in the country.
On the way to the ferry yesterday, I came across a great little group playing classical music on the corner. I stayed & watched them for a good 30 mins, as did many others - they were good.
And, after dinner (these really yummy meatballs from Cafe Engel), I strolled down to the little park in the centre of town to listen to this funky (boy, were they groovy) jazz band called Zum from London. For 90 mins they cranked up the beat with this out there jazz like I've never heard before. A part of the Jazz Espo festival they have going here at the moment. Thanks Helsinki!
