Keelepeksjad

For Keelepeksjad, memory is a playground where they can have fun, practice and experiment. Their debut album Kalev tuli koju includes covers of traditional Estonian dances as well as original compositions by Jaak Sooäär directly influenced by Estonian folk music. Those who saw them live at the Estonian Jazzkaar festival got a chance to experience how their solid rhythmic foundation could breathe new life into not only Estonian but international folk traditions, with their guitar improvisations infusing even well-known polka tunes with an electro jazz rock groove. The unconventional, climactic music of Keelepeksjad is playful, open-hearted and fun, with a curious, experimental streak running through it. Hit play on “Suvemõnu” from their debut album, let it guide you straight into the next track, “Miks Jaani oodatakse”, and we bet you won’t be able to hold back a giant smile.
