TIDI (Karoliine-Lisette Kõiv)
Karoliine-Lisette Kõiv aka Tidi (EST) is a dynamic musician seamlessly blending folk and jazz. She is experienced in a wide variety of styles ranging from Estonian and Nordic traditional music to well-known jazz standards. With a traditional music degree from Heino Eller Tartu Music College and jazz violin studies at the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy, Tidi has further expanded her knowledge in different musical cultures by participating in many diverse musical gatherings and projects (EthnoWorld, Fiddlers’ On The Move, Folk Marathon, etc) around the world.
Performing is Tidi’s essence. Her compositions fuse singer-songwriter storytelling with folk rhythm and jazzy harmonies. Tidi’s music is a vessel of stories, as she believes that the soul of every tune or song lies in the emotion and non-verbal message hidden within the music .
In the Songscapes evening, she will bring some new unreleased material as well as tunes and stories, that she picked up during her travels in the Summer of 2025. Tidi released her 2nd album-EP with her band in May, so fresh indie is definitely on the menu!
Listen here:
Witiri
Witiri is a dynamic duo featuring Baraka Issabu and Humprey Mbaruku (Mubba), both from Tanzania, based in Helsinki. Our performances celebrate the rich heritage of East African Swahili music, blending traditional elements with the improvisational spirit of jazz.

ABOUT SONGSCAPES
SONGSCAPES encompasses moments of togetherness and inspiration, through sharing the diverse landscapes that a song can have. It is a project run by students of the Sibelius Academy Global Music Department and independent cultural producers based in Helsinki.
Our motivation is to showcase local Helsinki based song composers and song performers and perhaps through this establish a local scene.
Vapaan Taiteen Tila is the place where it all happens once a month. You are welcome to listen to the music landscapes of musical artists performing original compositions and arrangements of songs.
