About
Hailing from “Hämpton” aka. Hämeenlinna, The Blassics have been in the heart of the Finnish funky scene as one of the true trailblazers, who haven’t enjoyed publicity they would deserve but who have been doing their music year after another without compromising with their own style and approach. Founded by guitarist Juha Sarkkola and trumpeter Tuure Tammi, the afrobeat-funk-jazz band and collective has always focused on analog lo-fi sounds but subsequently reaching out for more and more influences from up north to different parts of Africa – and fusing it all together with open minds. https://funkyfinland.fi/artist/the-blassics/
