What makes four Finns, one Englisman and a German to bring back to life Finnish dancehall music from the 1930s to the 1960s?
Possibly they do it to honour and commemorate the pioneers of the age, such as the great orchestras Dallapé and Rytmipojat, unforgettable singers Laila Kinnunen and Olavi Virta and masterful composers Toivo Kärki and Georg Malmstén.
Maybe it is because of the magic of the music itself and the fiery rhythms that, when they are blended together with the Finnish language, lead us to unique experiences.
Or, perhaps, it is because the funny, tragic and also exotic stories that have, even during the most difficult times, made life worth living.
Join Uusikuu (New Moon) for a musical trip that is not available through any travel agents. We take you to a journey back in time and also to an eventful and emotional trip from the hot deserts to the cooling breezes of the Finnish lakes, from hopes and dreams of distant countries to the most intimate emotions of the human heart.
