Juha Kansa & Etelän Tahdit

Tillikka oy / Juha Kansa & Etelän Tahdit + DJ's

From the deep south of Tampere, from the rusty estuaries of Nekala, comes a new, fascinating and experienced rhythm orchestra: Juha Kansa & Etelän Tahdit. This 7-piece group's yyyy reggae is carefully selected colourful gems from the 60s and 70s cast in a new mould. Juha Kansa's debut album is a rhythmic riot. Häikäisy oot vaan is the first single from the album. Some will recognise it as Slade's original song Gudbye T'Jane and others may remember the version recorded in Finnish by Kirka.

The band's musicians' playing history includes Jing & Jangsters, Funky Kingston, Jazzgangsters, Palava Kaupunki, Kuhnafar-I and Giant Robot.
