JPP

JPP is a group of Finnish folk musicians, mainly fiddlers, hailing from Kaustinen. The name originally meant Järvelän Pikkupelimannit, the small fiddlers of Järvelä, but today the group only uses the abbreviation JPP. The group still uses the Kaustinen traditional settings with fiddles, harmonium and double bass, although their arrangements are more advanced than earlier generations of traditional musicians in the area used. The group's repertoire consists of traditional tunes as well as newly written items in the old style dance rhythms - polskas, waltzes, schottisches etc. - but also some Finnish style tangos, and you can hear some jazz and bluegrass influences as well. The main part of the group's own compositions and arrangements are made by the group members Arto Järvelä and Timo Alakotila.

The brothers Jouni and Arto Järvelä are the fourth generation of folk musicians (in Finnish pelimanni), and JPP did originally come by as a part of the group Järvelän Pelimannit that mainly consisted of the older musicians of the village Järvelä. JPP developed the tradition further by their arrangements and by, inspired by another of the local folk music groups, playing not only the local tunes but also those from other parts of the country. Most of the members have studied at the Sibelius-Akatemia university of music, mainly at the folk music department.

    Schlaf Kindlein, Schlaf

    by: Jbo

    Geh' ins Bett, kleiner Depp,
    Mach schon, komm, sei nett,
    Denn es ist schon so spaet!
    Mach's Licht aus, komm, sei brav
    Und geniesse den Schlaf,
    Den das Sandmaennchen saet!
    Schlaf mit ein'm Aug' offen,
    Und halt' dei' Kissen fest!
    Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
    Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf,
    Dein Vater ist in Pommerland,
    Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
    Traeum' von Pariser Bier
    Und von Ungetier,
    Und von Emanzipation,
    Traeum von Heinz, sowieso,
    Und von J.B.O.
    Das ist schrecklich mein Sohn!
    Schlaf mit ei'm Aug' offen,
    Und halt' dei' Nilschwein fest!
    Chorus
    Lieber Gott, mach mich fromm,
    Dass ich in den Himmel komm!
    Komm, kleiner Depp, schlaf endlich ein
    Und hoer' auf so rumzuschrei'n,
    Sonst schmeissen wir dich auf den Dung-
    Postnatale Abtreibung!
    Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
    Dei' Mutter is' a Schaf
    Pommerland,
    Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
    Schlaf Kindlein, schlaf,
    Dei' Vater f(piep)t a Schaf,
    Pommerland,
    Und Pommerland ist abgebrannt.
