Vuoden yhtye 2026 Hilja Gr\u00f6nfors & Lat\u0161o D\u017einta. Kuva: Maarit Kyt\u00f6harju.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kaustinen Folk Music Festivalin arvostetun Vuoden yhtye -nimityksen tarkoituksena on nostaa esiin yhtye, joka on ansioillaan, tuoreella otteellaan tai pitk\u00e4ll\u00e4 urallaan osoittanut erityist\u00e4 osaamista ja toimintaa kansanmusiikin saralla. Vuonna 2026 tunnustuksen saa Hilja Gr\u00f6nfors & Lat\u0161o D\u017einta.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hilja Gr\u00f6nfors on nimi, johon nykyp\u00e4iv\u00e4n\u00e4 henkil\u00f6ityy Suomen romanimusiikki. H\u00e4n on kansanmusiikin kent\u00e4ll\u00e4 ainutlaatuinen laulujen aarreaitta, joka tuntee syv\u00e4llisesti esitt\u00e4m\u00e4ns\u00e4 lauluston tyylipiirteet, historian ja kulttuuriset taustat. Mestarikansanlaulaja Gr\u00f6nfors on tehnyt vuosikymmenten ajan m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4tietoista ja tietoista ty\u00f6t\u00e4 romanilauluperinteen tallentamiseksi: h\u00e4n on kiert\u00e4nyt Suomea, ker\u00e4nnyt satoja lauluja vanhoilta laulajilta ja ollut keskeisess\u00e4 roolissa suullisen perinteen s\u00e4ilytt\u00e4misess\u00e4 tuleville sukupolville.<\/p>\n

Hilja Gr\u00f6nforsin pyyteet\u00f6n ja pitk\u00e4j\u00e4nteinen ty\u00f6 sai vuonna 2024 poikkeuksellisen laajan tunnustuksen, kun h\u00e4net vihittiin kunniatohtoriksi ja h\u00e4nelle my\u00f6nnettiin akateemikon arvonimi. Kansainv\u00e4lisestikin harvinainen kunnianosoitus on merkitt\u00e4v\u00e4 paitsi h\u00e4nelle itselleen, my\u00f6s koko suomalaiselle romaniyhteis\u00f6lle ja -kulttuurille. Kaustisella Gr\u00f6nfors esiintyy viisihenkisen Lat\u0161o D\u017einta -yhtyeen kanssa.<\/p>\n

Kaustinen Folk Music Festival haluaa valinnallaan\u00a0nostaa esiin romanimusiikin ja -kulttuurin keskeisen merkityksen suomalaiselle kansanmusiikille sek\u00e4 Hilja Gr\u00f6nforsin poikkeuksellisen el\u00e4m\u00e4nty\u00f6n el\u00e4v\u00e4n perinteen vaalijana, siirt\u00e4j\u00e4n\u00e4 ja asiantuntijana.<\/p>\n
