Fierce energy, beatbox rhythms and other-worldly harmonies: TUULETAR is taking Finnish music abroad with a novel approach. The band’s singers create a sonic landscape, where beatbox rhythms meet Finnish tradition and global influences. With freshly invigorating original music Tuuletar enchants audiences globally with their heartfelt, tribal and captivating spirit.

Tuuletar’s (Goddess of The Wind in Finnish mythology) second album Rajatila / Borderline was released in May 2019 by Bafe’s Factory. The album was produced by Pekko Käppi and it has already gained raging reviews and has been playlisted on radio shows all around the world. The band’s debut album Tules Maas Vedes Taivaal (On Fire and Earth, In Water and Sky, Bafe’s Factory 2016) won the prestigious Finnish EMMA award (the Finnish equivalent to the Grammy Award) for the best ethno album of the year.

During the recent years, Tuuletar has toured all around the world, doing three major Asian tours and performing at both Finnish and European festivals such as WOMAD UK 2018, Songlines Encounters 2018, Dranouter Festival in 2019, Sur Jahan India 2018, EtnoKrákow 2018 and 2019, Buskers Bern in Switzerland 2018 and 2019, Budapest Ritmo 2016 and 2018, Hannover A Cappella Festival 2017, Nordischer Klang Festival 2017 and Bardentreffen Festival 2017 to name a few.
