Digelius Music

Digelius Music was a record shop and internet retailer located in Viiskulma, Helsinki, Finland.

Digelius Electronics Finland, known for its owner, inventor Erkki Kurenniemi, invested in some of the shares as well.

[5] Digelius Music was originally located on a street called Laivurinrinne, at the Viiskulma corner, in the same space which is now (2024) occupied by the record store Eronen.

[5] One person writes about the store in the internet with the following words:[7] Digelius Music is a strange place.

And he even seemed to enjoy this "inquiry that was goddam difficult.” In addition to selling records, live jazz can be heard in Digelius Music on occasion.

In addition, it was said that Lehtinen has acted as an encompassing and encouraging flag bearer for jazz music and as a person who brings musicians and their audiences together.

[6] Another important employee in the past was Phillip Page, an ex-patriate Texan, who worked at Digelius Music from 1987 on.

He concentrated in providing the store with encompassing selections in world music, while Lehtinen's turf was jazz.

In the early 1990s Page began to work as manager for various Finnish folk and world music acts, such as the JPP, Maria Kalaniemi and Värttinä.
