Tötterssön

About Me

Tötterssön is a folk music group which plays mainly traditional finnish polka with modern touch, humorous attitude and extreme speed. The group is also known from songs with hilarious lyrics. From "instrumental" view Tötterssön is basicly traditional finnish folk music group: three violins, harmonium and double-bass, but there's also acoustic quitar which produces very important "backbeat" to band's music. Tötterssön was formed in 1996 and so far it has released one album (Tötterssön) in year 2000. At the moment Tötterssön is celebrating their 10th anniversary and new album (XO) is going to be released during year 2007. Band has been less active during last few years but now is time to confuse the folk music scene again...So get ready to face Tötterssön and their new album XO with the "slogan" in it:"Kiireettä kypsynyt" (matured without a rush)!

Yeaah!
