Event Description

Puuluup, consisting of Ramo Teder (also known as Pastacas) and Marko Veisson, has captivated audiences worldwide with its innovative blend of traditional and modern music. Since their inception in 2014, they have performed across Estonia and in numerous countries, including Belgium, China, India, and the United States. Their music, a unique fusion of the Hiiu kannel (a two to four-stringed bowed lyre from northern Europe) with electronic elements, has garnered significant acclaim, and they recently represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024. They will be bringing their music to the acclaimed Jodhpur RIFF festival later this year. Crossing Hiiu kannel with electronics, Puuluup oscillates between tradition and modern music styles, flirting with world music, underground and pop. Puuluup controls the vibrations of hiiu kannel’s strings through effect blocks and the looper and uses alternative playing techniques and sound generation options. Electronically amplified echoes, knocks, squeaks and scrapes are added to the soft hiss of Hiiu kannel. The music is at times dance-pulsating and at times cinematic and dark, creeping in and carried over from the chambers of the ancient Vormsi talharpists. It sounds like original creations impregnated with tradition, references to punk classics and romantic neo-zombie post-folk with educational content.
