SUOMIJAZZ.COM review:
'Ilkka Arola Sound Tagine's concert offered hypnotic groove sections, horn unisonos, percussion battles, fiery solos and fragile atmospheres. Group's set was versatile and colorful and very emotionally appealing. A bit of advertising here: this band fits to any folk, world or jazz festival and they can even put up a dabke dance party if needed. The band's first album will be released next fall, can't wait.'
The latest album Land Ahead! was released on 30th of October 2019 by Flame Jazz Records. Buy the album here.
