Sara Pajunen and Teija Niku live more than 4000 miles apart, but their sophmore album "Ameriikan Laulu" illustrates that their talents were meant to merge. While their Finnish ancestors resided just hours from one another, Pajunen grew up in northern Minnesota while Niku remained in Haapavesi, Finland. After meeting in San Diego at FinnFest 2011, the two began collaborating and named their newfound group Aallotar after a character from Finland's national epic "Kalevala." While both women share deep roots in Finnish music, the transatlantic team also embraces the ways in which living in different countries has undeniably influenced their musical preferences and playing styles.
