Jukka Linkola Tentet - Rumba Liberte (2023)

This April the legendary Jukka Linkola's Tentet band wakes up from its 27-year-long hiatus with a new line-up and fresh new music, when the ensemble's second album "Rumba Liberte'' is released.

In Tentet's music the Afro-American and Latin American influences are combined to the beautiful cinematic melodies in a unique way. Tentet's renewed line-up also brings together the older and younger musicians from many different generations, resulting in vibrant and multifaceted timbres in which a number of decades can be heard and felt.

The album and the future concerts provide an energetic and unexpected experience, full of appealing creative madness.
