PuuluupEE

Puuluup, one of Estonia's most beloved and acclaimed bands, has won multiple awards and performed worldwide from Chile to Taiwan. They've appeared at many significant festivals such as Colours of Ostrava, Sziget, Rock for People, Transmusicales, and WOMAD (UK and Chile), as well as industry showcases like WOMEX, Mundial Montreal, ESNS, MENT, and Zandari Festa. In 2024, they represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest finals. The duo creates original compositions on talharpas – traditional bowed lyres from Northern Europe – processing the horsehair strings' vibrations through effects and loopers while employing unconventional bowing and percussion techniques. The talharpa's natural sighs blend with electronic echoes, knocks, and crackles, while their playful approach extends to lyrics, sometimes inventing their own language. Their performances merge tradition with contemporary flair, creating a surprising, entertaining, funny and dance-worthy experience!
