I have no idea why Danish singer Gitte Hænning-Johansson recorded a song in Finnish. She don't pronounce Finnish too well and the dialect sounds actually quite funny. The song itself however is quite nice early 1960s jazz-schlager. And we do talk about the side a song "Tämä maa" (this land) here. It's a cover of "La terre" by Jo Moutet and it's backed by Jørn Grauengårds Orkester. Side b song "Stormy weather" is quite ok song too. A curiosity 45 I must say.
