Lapua-Uusi-Guinea - Polku (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Finnish folk fusion six-piece Lapua-New Guinea (also listed as Lapua-Uusi-Guinea) releases its third studio album, “Polku”, on Friday, October 16, 2026. Compared with the previous records, Virittä (2021) and Taklax/Remix (2023), it leans much more heavily on vocals, with singing on six of its ten tracks.

The album is built as a cinematic narrative arc in which the cycle of the seasons runs parallel to the discovery of one’s own self and creative voice. The lineup is Anna Kinnunen (fiddle, lead vocals), Oona Yliperttula (fiddle, backing vocals), Santeri Kaipiainen (piano, backing vocals), Viivi Maria Saarenkylä (accordion, backing vocals), Jiipee Jyväsjärvi (guitar, cittern) and Veli-Matti Silanterä (double bass).
