World music legend Piirpauke is performing at Kanneltalo.
Undoubtedly one of the most popular Finnish instrumental bands of all time, Piirpauke has, over the years, explored the musical traditions of many different cultures with an open mind, including genres such as, nuevo flamenco, mbalax, jazz, progressive rock, música llanera, and Romanian and Turkish music. In the spirit of Piirpauke’s latest album, Lumo , the concert at Kanneltalo features compositions by Jean Sibelius, Oskari Merikanto, Toivo Kuula, Selim Palmgren and Yrjö Kilpinen, among others.
The debut album of the band founded at Pori Jazz in 1975 has sold more copies than any other long play album released in Finland featuring only instrumental music. Widely acclaimed and regarded as one of the most significant names in its genre, Piirpauke has, during its distinguished career, played hundreds of concerts around the world and shared the stage with top names such as Miles Davis, Ravi Shankar, Astor Piazzolla and Nirvana.
