Puuluup
Puuluup is two talharpa enthusiasts, Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson. Ramo Teder is a multi-instrumentalist and a looping pioneer in Estonia and has mastered these skills for twenty years. Marko Veisson has a background in anthropology, and his fieldwork in Northern Ghana as well as his love for West-African music have definitely influenced Puuluup’s style. They play their own compositions on Talharpas – a traditional bowed lyre, popular in Northern Europe since the early Middle Ages and played on Western Estonian islands until the beginning of 20th century.
They joined forces with 5MIINUST to represent Estonia in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. They made it to the finals, where they place ninth out of 25 competitors.
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.
