Uusikuu celebrate their sweet sixteen in November 2022 with their fifth album "Karuselli" and light 16 candles on their birthday cake. Since the conception of the world music ensemble in 2006, its founding members Laura Ryhänen, Mikko Kuisma and Norbert Bremes have been on a mission to breathe new life into the traditional Finnish tango. Today, the ensemble's line-up includes James Geier on guitar and Florian Dohrmann on double bass. In 2022, the band was nominated for the German world music prize "Eiserner Eversteiner".

On "Karuselli", they remind us that life goes around like a fairground carousel. Sadness follows joy, hopeless love dances with ecstasy and loneliness holds hands with intimate togetherness. With their skillful mixture of fiery tangos, dreamy waltzes, cheeky jenkkas, funny humppas and light-footed swing sounds, Uusikuu once again invite their listeners to join them on the ride, to let all colours of life melt in to a melange of emotions. Hop on! Join the karuselli!
