Tenhi is a Finnish band renowned for their stark and ethereal soundscapes that beautifully blend elements of neofolk and ambient music with a deep connection to the wild, raw beauty of nature. Formed in 1996 by Tyko Saarikko and Ilmari Issakainen, the duo set out to craft a distinct sound characterized by melancholic pianos, hauntingly melodic vocals, and a variety of traditional instruments. Their work is often noted for its emotive storytelling and the way it captures the essence of the Finnish landscape and folklore, resonating with themes of sorrow, reverence, and a profound sense of solitude.

Over the years, Tenhi have solidified their position as a cornerstone within the neofolk genre, amassing a dedicated following with their rich discography. Their albums such as "Kauan" (1999) and "Väre" (2002) established their signature sound, while "Maaäet" (2006) and "Saivo" (2011) saw the band refine and deepen their approach to composition and thematic exploration. "Airut: Aamujen" (2004) and "Airut: Ciwi" (2001) formed a conceptual series, further showcasing their ability to create intricate sonic narratives. With their most recent release, "Valkama" (2022), Tenhi have continued to explore the intertwining of nature with human emotion, delivering yet another powerful addition to their introspective and soul-stirring oeuvre.
