Juho Koskelo
Juho Evert Koskelo (July 23, 1870, Kuopio — November 7, 1942, New York City.), was a Finnish-American singer and cellist. He was the most popular Finnish-American singer in the 1910s. Koskelo started his career as a military musician and later played with the Berlin Philharmonic. In Berlin he met Heikki Klemetti, who suggested him to go to America. Koskelo moved to New York City in 1910 and immediately started to make recordings for His Master's Voice, Columbia Records, Victor Talking Machine Company and Gramophone Company. As a singer, he made 112 recordings between 1910 and 1923. Mostly he sang folk songs, marches, hymns and industrial folk music. Some of his songs were written by the famous cuplé singer J. Alfred Tanner. Koskelo's career ended because of a stroke in 1923 and he died as a forgotten artist at a hospital in New York in 1942. |
