Maa (album)
Maa is the eighth album of Finnish a cappella ensemble Rajaton released in 2007 in celebration of the ensemble's 10th anniversary. Maa, is a Finnish word which, depending on context, can be translated to mean country, earth, land, ground or soil. The name is in reference to the 'back to the roots' nature of the album - Rajaton's debut album, Nova, similarly consisted of songs composed to Finnish poetry.
A new a cappella version of the Jean Sibelius orchestral piece Valse triste is also included, marking the 50th anniversary of his death.

gollark: Like with politicians now it appears that the whole thing selects for somewhat terrible people.
gollark: I think this is conflating vaguely sympathetic/understandable/ethical somewhat.
gollark: According to most ethical theories, that still wouldn't justify killing millions+ of people.
gollark: I think that killing vast numbers of people was still bad, as they could just have not done that and it was an entirely predictable result, personally.
gollark: *All* natural languages are horrible in various ways.
