Yooper Creoles: Finnish Music in Michigan's Copper Country plot

In 1937, folklorist Alan Lomax recorded extraordinary songs in Michigan's Upper Peninsula by Croatian, German and Finnish musicians, among others. The region's artists fused their work and created a series of traditions that continued to evolve. This documentary shows the musical collaborative adventures of Oren Tikkanen, a Finnish miner's son who embraced the multifaceted soundscape in the 1970s.
