Vilho Akseli Ollikainen lived between 1934-1998. Through music, songs, pictures and poetry and strong will Vilho expressed his point of view. In the village of Ullatti south of Gällivare he lived, sang, felt and thought about existence, love and darkness. About nature, human terms and the way the world spins. Often at home but sometimes on stage together with the folkmusicians JP Nyströms. Vilho left a great amount of ballads, proverbs, pictures, sculptures and analyses of the society in finnish as well as in meänkieli and swedish. All of this have inspired to performance.
