Hilja Grönfors, nominated as Master Folk Singer at Kaustinen Folk Music Festival in 2005, has been singing since she was a little child. Her great interest in the Roma culture and especially music forced Hilja to become a collector - she has spent thousands of kilometers on the road and by now she has a collection of more than 100 Finnish Roma songs from different regions of Finland. She performs these songs with her band Latšo Džinta.
Hilja Grönfors & Latšo Džinta has performed in Finland in the most important venues and festivals, but also abroad, e.g. in France, Czech Republic and Sweden. In addition to grand stages, the group likes to perform in small and intimate venues and events.
Hilja gives also lectures on Finnish Roma culture either with musicians or another lecturers.
Hilja Grönfors & Latšo Džinta CD 'Phurane mirits' (GMCD 0817) received Emma Award from the Finnish National Group of IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) as the best folk music album published in Finland in 2008.
