First performed commercially by Eino Kettunen in the 1930s, this song was popularized the world over by the Finnish group Loituma with an a cappella version (not featured here). The song's origins are unknown, but it bears musical similarities to the Savitaipaleen Polkka of Southern Karelia (to the point where some in that region do not distinguish between the two). The song itself describes the nighttime adventure of a young man named Ieva who wanders into the forest and discovers a festival where everyone dances the polka. The lyrics are in an Eastern Savonian dialect of Finnish which can be unintelligible to some speakers of other dialects.
