Jori Otsa (born Jori Tapio Kalliola) is a Finnish singer and bandleader who performs Baltic and Slavic folk songs, romances and popular songs with his acoustic quartet Mah'Orkka - formed in 2018 and built around two balalaikas and an accordion. After 35 years performing across genres from rock to blues, he channelled that experience into a three-album trilogy (2020-2022) devoted to the repertoire of legendary Estonian singer Georg Ots, earning praise from critics across genre lines. A fourth album, 'Valikoituja lauluja sattumanvaraiselle elämälle', followed in October 2024.
Jori Otsa & Mah'Orkka released their fourth album, 'Valikoituja lauluja sattumanvaraiselle elämälle', on 11 October 2024.
The band released a new video single 'Laulu on iloni ja työni' ahead of the October 2024 album.
Jori Otsa & Mah'Orkka was listed among summer 2025 concert acts at Papinniemi Camping.
