Nordic Urban Ethno - eight-piece ensemble combining the nuances of various forms world music with outrageous energy and virtuosity.
Highly dynamic modern folk music group consisting of eight musicians with very different backgrounds. Combine the various influences with Finnish tradition and add the band’s original compositions and their somewhat unusual instrumentation, and you have a unique mixture.
Hotas is the fifth studio album of Tsuumi Sound System. Looking from another perspective, it could also be considered as the debut record of a band that has only recently come home in terms of its formation. Hotas is a record made by a steady eight-piece group known for spectacular live performances. This time - with the assistance of producer Roger Tallroth - Tsuumi Sound System was able to capture their great onstage energy on tape as well!
