Pohjantahti arose from an urge of being culturally creative. The idea was to make a studio recording of music written and performed by Finnish Baha'is. Hence it was more a project than a band. This Finnish version is the sister album of the one in English, i.e. Star of the North.
Pekka Okkonen, electric and acoustic guitars, all male vocals
Tuula Kuitunen, all female vocals
Harri Peltola, producer, lyrics, voice on "Ylistys"
with help from the friends and session musicians
We have never performed live.
The Dawn Breakers (Austria), Seals&Crofts (US), Windflower (Alaska), all bands that pioneered in making Baha'i music
The album was recorded before the CD era on a 16 track tape recorder, and recently the original tapes were digitally remastered.
Learn some Finnish and enjoy the lyrics! Hyva Suomi!
