Archive material and source history
Tavaramarkkinat formed in Tampere, Finland in the late 1970s. The group's core members included Timo Väänänen on vocals and accordion, Mikko Perkoila on vocals and guitar, Harri Kinnunen on vocals and bass, Jaakko Kankkunen on keyboards, and Ville Ojansivun on drums.
Their music blended traditional Finnish folk with elements of jazz, rock, and electronica. They released albums like "Tavaramarkkinat" in 1981, "I Love You" in 1987, and "Kulkurivalssi" in 1992. The song "I Love You" appeared on their 1987 album of the same name.
Some early listeners found their experimental approach to folk music challenging, but the group continued working. They put out more recent albums including "Tulta päin" in 2012 and "Elämä on ihana" in 2015.
