This special night brings together two generations and approaches to Finnish jazz – both bold, free-spirited, and uncompromising.
Oiro Pena is a mysterious jazz collective in constant transformation. Their music blends a distinct 1970s spiritual jazz feel with a forward-thinking, contemporary edge. Known for deeply emotional live performances, the group creates concerts of rare intensity – spiritual, sincere, and immersive.
Moving at the intersection of free jazz and psychedelic experimentation, Phardah builds expansive musical arcs through rhythmic repetition and hypnotic flow. Against this vibrant foundation, the saxophone is given full freedom to sing, roar, and shimmer. Since their debut at the Odysseus Festival in Helsinki in 2023, Phardah has drawn international attention, including praise from The Wire.
