About

Rajaton is a Finnish a cappella ensemble, founded in Helsinki in 1997. The Finnish word rajaton means "boundless", to indicate the breadth of their repertoire, from sacred classical to near Europop.

Rajaton performs primarily in Finland but also tours around Europe and the rest of the world, having performed in over 25 countries.

In 2005, Rajaton album sales reached 100,000 worldwide. They have earned eight gold records in total, with Rajaton Sings ABBA reaching platinum (30,000) and Joulu reaching double platinum (60,000).

Rajaton mainly performs a cappella, music written or arranged by members of the ensemble. Most lyrics are taken from poetry and from a collection of Finnish folk poetry Kanteletar.

Rajaton est un ensemble choral finlandais, fondé à Helsinki en 1997. En finnois, le mot rajaton signifie "sans limites", ce qui correspond bien au répertoire du groupe, qui va de la musique sacrée à la pop. Selon le site officiel du groupe, c'est "la façon dont Rajaton conçoit la musique".

Rajaton se produit principalement en Finlande, mais fait parfois des tournées en Europe et dans le reste du monde. Rajaton compte un nombre grandissant de fans, dont la communauté a sensiblement grandi depuis 2002. En 2005, le groupe a passé la barre des 100 000 ventes au niveau mondial, avec l'album Kevät.
