On her debut album <em data-start=\"205\" data-end=\"212\">Kosto<\/em>, released in autumn 2023, Vilma J\u00e4\u00e4 tells age-old stories, blending traditional folk instruments with synthetic beats, as Finno-Ugric traditions flirt with pop aesthetics. Her feminist music addresses contemporary issues through a historical lens, revealing just how much \u2013 or how little \u2013 has changed, especially when it comes to women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"561\" data-end=\"1334\">Vilma J\u00e4\u00e4 is a <strong data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"605\">singer, composer, fiddler<\/strong>, and researcher active in folk, pop, and opera, holding a Master of Music degree.
