HEIKKI HELA & MARZI NYMAN: HENGEN PITIMIKSI TOUR

To sustain body and soul, people need food, drink, love and nourishment for the soul. And, of course, music! The fresh, surprising and bold concert experience Hengen pitimiksi offers all of this. The evening’s masters of ceremonies are beloved “golden-throated” singer Heikki Hela from Kangasala and super-musician Marzi Nyman, one of Finland’s busiest guitarists. Providing further support are Finland’s first-rate rhythm section: Harri Rantanen and Anssi Nykänen.

“This is such a wonderful collision! Marzi and I both have winding and fascinating spiritual backgrounds. We thought we’d do something fun, profound and breathtaking together—especially since we have such a high-quality and inspiring rhythm section at our disposal,” Hela says.

Expect evenings that do not travel in a straight line from point A to point B, but let the music meander. The programme includes the musicians’ own material, as well as songs such as Rakastatko vielä kun on ilta and My Sweet Lord. Sometimes the music will be beautiful and moving; sometimes it will take a little detour through the woods. At times, the musicians will pause to laugh, while at others they will listen in silence. A familiar song may reveal a completely new angle, an old melody may receive a new coat, and even an ordinary tune may suddenly open a door to somewhere no one intended to go just moments earlier.

“I was really excited when Heikki asked me to join him on tour. I saw him perform back in the Gospel Power era, and I’ve been a fan ever since. We are also connected by Anssi and Harri, who have played on both of our records and in our bands—my most important musical partners in life. Silvennoinen’s strong presence can also be heard in many of the tour’s songs. He was also the most important guitar idol of my youth,” Marzi says.

When these two all-round entertainers meet, the result is more than just a concert. It is a conversation—sometimes musical, sometimes verbal, and occasionally entirely wordless. It is a shared journey to sustain the spirit, where the destination matters, but the journey matters even more. You are warmly welcome to join us!
