Annika's Butterfly

I got this beautiful tune from the album 'Upside Down' which was released in Australia by Sharon Shannon, Mike McGoldrick, Jim Murray, and Dezi Donnelly.
I'm not sure of the origins of the tune, I would guess Europe, and probably Flemish. The band plays the tune quite slow.

Norway?

I heard that this tune is from Scandinavia.

Also on Sharon Shannon's "Out the Gap." It's a traditional Finnish tune according to the notes.

I wouldn't be surprised if this were used in one of Aki Kaurismäki's tragicomic films. I still haven't seen them all.
