The Finnish band Maria Makaaberi plays melodic, straightforward and honestly weird guitar rock – with an uncompromising attitude and in Finnish. Their self-published debut EP “Väärällä radalla” was released in 2020 and the songs are a witty and honest cross-section of the mindscape of a woman in her twenties. We had the opportunity to met the band after their show at Porispere and talk about their music and much more.
This year the Porispere has grown larger by expanding the festival area to accommodate more people, with a new larger stage and no restrictions on alcohol areas. Unfortunately the weather was not on the side of the festival, rain and wind made the program change at the last minute and two gigs were canceled. Despite all, the festival was a success and the dates for next year have already been announced.
