Jazz concert for the whole family at the Väreet festival: Kadi Vija 3

Kadi Vija 3 is a new band from Helsinki whose music exudes joy, a sense of liberation and space for experimentation. Sound artist Kadi Vija’s unique approach to singing and improvisation has been influenced by instrumental jazz, free-flowing thoughts and abstractness. The band’s line-up and Vija’s compositions are reminiscent of the traditional jazz wind instrument trio, in which a human voice now interprets melodies usually played by the wind instruments, accompanied by double bassist Ville Herrala and drummer Ville Luukkonen. Founded in 2013 and established as a bright spot in Helsinki’s late autumn event calendar, We Jazz Festival is known as Väreet as of 2026. Väreet continues the open-minded musical adventure across Helsinki known from We Jazz – listening to new music in a communal atmosphere and getting to know different venues. Väreet 2026 takes place in Helsinki from 2 to 5 December.
