Musician / Composer of Folk
A.k.a. Konsta Viljami Jylhä
In Finnish fiddling, Konsta Viljam Jylhä (14 August 1910 Kaustinen – 13 September 1984) was a folk-virtuoso who made the traditional pelimanni-style folk music a Finnish cultural phenomenon of wider currency, bringing his natural genius and traditional style to a burgeoning nationwide television audience, thus laying the foundation for a rich and popular traditional music scene in Finland.His best known pieces of original composition are Konstan Parempi Valssi ("Konstas Major Waltz") and especially the hauntingly beautiful Vaiennut Viulu ("Mute Violin").
