Uniruukki takes you on a musical journey to a world where fairytale-like shades and moods are combined with musical surprises and oddities. The modern kantele compositions combine folk and world music elements freely with the more progressive sounds and influences. The music of Uniruukki is imaginative and playful, "dream world". However, the action-packed playing is more about the deep REM sleep with absurdly varying adventures, than some peaceful naps. Suddenly you are driving an unpredictable ferris wheel, and before you know it, you'll find yourself from an unknown planet far far away.
Uniruukki was founded around compositions of finnish kantele musician, Aino Ruotanen, and the music is complemented by skillful rhythm section, Ari-Pekka Kauppinen on bass and Joona Räsänen on drums. In August 2015 they published their deput abum, and the progressive kantele music brought them a pile of positive reviews. Uniruukki was also chosen as "The band of the year 2016" by the Kantele Association.
