With their fierce, fresh beatbox rhythms and other-worldly harmonies, Tuuletar have taken a novel approach to traditional Finnish folk music. Pioneering the genre of ‘vocal folk hop’, the singers won the prestigious Finnish EMMA award (the equivalent to a Grammy) for the best ethno album in 2017 and continue to enchant audiences with their ethereal, tribal energy.
WORKSHOP:
This workshop will introduce the audience to a vibrant world of vocal sounds as well as the fascinating Finnish language. The four versatile vocalists from Tuuletar present several different sounds, effects and techniques, all produced merely with a human voice. They demonstrate some of the traditional singing styles from Finland and Scandinavia as well as more global vocal art forms such as overtone singing, beatboxing, flute notes and bird sounds. The audience will get to try out different vocal techniques, learn some Finnish lyrics and sing with Tuuletar, accompanying them on one of their original compositions.
