Finnish metal-act Katra was founded in summer 2006 when the bands vocalist Katra Solopuro gathered a group of musicians around her. Things evolved quickly and by autumn their first single Sahara took off and got a fair share of radio air time. Even more was to follow when Katra was chosen to race for place to reprecent Finland in Eurovion..s song contest in the beginning of 2007. Katra performed couple shows in TV and had almost 2 million viewers.
