Concert review : Calle Night club -Hilda Sawe

Write a description of one of the Finnish composers whose music is played in the concert.
I attended one concert on 3rd October 2014 in Calle Night Club in kokkola and there was a performance from Teflon Brothers. This is a finnish rap group which is made up of three men namely; the saint, Heikki Ball and Voli. They write their own music and produce it.

 Write a review of the concert. Eg. What did you like? Why? Who were playing? What kind of music? By what composers? 
The music was nice and we were singing along at some point. This was really the best moment i have had in a club in Kokkola since i came here considering that their music is so different from ours.The two albums i heard them performing are: the white dune riders and father's day. The Telfon Brothers mostly play rap music and also hiphop. I would definately want to meet them again!

Unfortunately, we don't know whos music was played. It was Finnish folk music, but we don't know the particular composers.

We liked the atmosphere of the concert, it was really nice. The music was also very nice, pleasant to listen to even though we don't understand the lyrics. The artists perfomed very well and they were really good performers. Unfortunately, we were only able to attend the concert for a moment, but it was really nice. There was Finnish folk music playing, but we don't know the composers.
