Alamaailman Vasarat

The avant-garde Finnish music group Alamaailman Vasarat, which means “the Hammers from the Underworld” in British, create music influenced by Klezmer and other styles of Western european folk music and play it using the ferocity of the punk or metal act. Abandoning main keys generally and guitars altogether, the group performs on such equipment being a pump body organ, saxophone, and distorted cello. Although the essential rhythms the music group uses are typical polka and bossa nova, by speeding them up and adding primal drumming, their intense music continues to be known to also inspire stage diving. Alamaailman Vasarat was produced in 1997 being a aspect task by two associates from the avant-garde intensifying rock-band Höyry-kone: Teemu Hänninen (drums) and Jarno Sarkula (flute, soprano sax, bass). Adding Höyry-kone member Marko Manninen on cello, pump organist Miikka Huttunen, and trombonist Erno Haukkala, the group done writing and organizing materials in 1998. Afterwards that calendar year, they created a soundtrack to a brief film. In 1999, they started live shows that have been amazingly well-attended and dramatic affairs. Their debut record, Vasaraasia (2000), marketed quite well over the European globe music market.
