Tsuumi Sound System is one of Finland’s internationally most notable modern folk music bands. Rooted in Nordic folk traditions and innovative modern ideas, this eight-piece ensemble draws their strength from a huge mixture of influences. The band is known for their unique compositions and very intense live performances. Tsuumi Sound System has also been described to be the rock band of the Finnish folk music field.
Tsuumi Sound System released their third album Floating Letters in 2013. The album is produced by Swedish guitar-legend Roger Tallroth from Väsen. Floating Letters follows the musical continuum of Tsuumi Sound System’s previous albums Growing Up (2009) and Hotas (2007) with its explosive touch. Floating Letters includes energetic show folk music with massive volume, as well as carefully crafted compositions with fine and delicate feeling.
