Viitasen Piia (solo) – A la Malmi

A critically acclaimed, award-winning indie artist opens the autumn’s club series, A la Malmi.

Viitasen Piia released their awaited fifth studio album “Ihmisen aika” in March 2024. The artist says that the album deals with home and homelessness, roots and rootlessness, becoming a mother, and human impact on nature.

"As the writing process of the new album went on, I noticed that I had written several songs in from the point of view of people that had fallen by the wayside in different ways: stories of people who, for one reason or another, had fallen between the cracks or had to rebuild the foundations of their lives and recreate their sense of security," says Piia.

Viitasen Piia, who has released four critically acclaimed albums in their career, has been nominated for Emma prizes in both the Critics' Choice (2014) and Ethnic of the Year (2019) categories during their career. Association of Finnish Music Producers Aux rewarded their album, "Meidän jälkeemme hiljaisuus", with their Album of the Year and Single of the Year awards in 2020.

Viitasen Piia performs solo at Malmitalo.
