Puuluup

Love on skis, the allure of windmills, and other unexpected turns of Estonian nu-folk. Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson play on talharpa, an ancient nordic instrument, pluck it, own it, twist it and loop it, and concoct a live show that surprises even its makers. Punk, blues, and pop fragments seep into medieval tunes, topics range from mundane to weird, the performance is magnetic. The manic minnesingers of Puuluup have become the new favorite of the world music scene.
