Arja Koriseva (born 21 April 1965) is a Finnish iskelmä and tango singer who rose to national fame when she was crowned Tango Queen at the Seinäjoki Tangomarkkinat in 1989 - with Fortuna as her backing band, a partnership that has continued ever since. Her repertoire spans tango, pop, musical theatre and sacred music, and she has sold over 330,000 certified records, making her the seventh best-selling female soloist in Finland.
Koriseva and Fortuna are confirmed for Seinäjoki Tangomarkkinat on 10 July 2026, and a dance concert at Pavi, Vantaa on 21 August 2026.
Koriseva performed a charity concert titled 'Elämän syliin' at Keski-Porin kirkko in Pori on 7 March 2026.
The nationwide anniversary concert tour 'Leipää, Lempee ja Lämpöö 35 vuotta!' launched on 30 August 2025, celebrating 35 years of Koriseva's career with Fortuna.
Koriseva toured Finland with the Christmas concert series 'Sydämeesi joulun teen', with dates in Mikkeli, Kuopio, Joensuu, Turku and Pori.
In 2013 Fortuna was renewed with conductor Minna Lintukangas, who has since also served as Koriseva's pianist and assistant from 2015.
