Radio Romania Big Band featuring Pauliina May
Pauliina May is invited through EBU (European Broadcasting Union)
to perform in Bucharest as a soloist of the Radio Romania Big Band directed by George Natsis.

Together with the Big Band she will be performing the music of Finnish composer Jukka Linkola.
The concert will be broadcasted on the Euroradio satellite network Friday 26.1.2007. See info below. According to the press article of Euroradio, it has around 2.4 million listeners from throughout the world.

Last year Pauliina May performed with the Radio Romania Big Band an afro-cuban repertoire directed and arranged by conductor Jere Laukkanen.
See photos.

"I feel very honored to be one of the invited guests of Societatea Romana de Radiodifuziune, part of the concert serie “Bucharest- city of music”.
It is my second time to stand as a vocalist in front of the great Big Band of Radio Romania.
Last time we played music from Afro-Cuban roots conducted and arranged by Jere Laukkanen.
I had an extremely enjoyable one week of rhythm and swing with the musicians of the Big band of Radio Romania.
This time I am proud to bring along music from Finland, written by a Finnish composer, Jukka Linkola.
I am looking forward to this interesting European crossover between Finland and Romania and thrillingly waiting to hear Finnish music played by the Big Band of Radio Romania. As composer Jukka Linkola says with his own words: “Music is not just a string of notes one after the other but moods and feelings, life in general.” (article of Jarmo Sermilä: Jukka Linkola in Profile) I will bring my own little world of moods and feelings with my voice and I am sure the powerful Big Band of Radio Romania will response to me with theirs!"

2002

In spring 2002, Pauliina May met the Dutch composer and pianist Izak Boom in Holland.
Izak was looking for ideas to do something with different elements of world music. Pauliina May introduced him to the literature of Kalevala, to the poetry of Kanteletar and to the beloved Eino Leino. He was enthusiastically getting involved in the deep-rooted stories of Finnish literature and captured the feelings of the texts with his harmonical ideas from European, Middle-East and American folk styles, as well as Gypsy-Swing and Classical Impressionism.
Together Pauliina and Izak explored their skills and talents and this led to the formation of AINA.
