Fresh from their multiple shows at SXSW 2024, Finnish indie folk artists Tuomo & Markus share their new single, "Waiting Room" (Grandpop Records), featuring legendary guitarist/artist/political activist Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Black Keys, T Bone Burnett) and Nordic jazz trumpet virtuoso Verneri Pohjola.
Finnish musical duo Tuomo & Markus are set to release their single and video "Hecho en Mexico" on Friday, August 25. The song combines beautiful vocal harmonies with a poignant mariachi trumpet theme, addressing pressing contemporary issues. The emotionally charged ballad features trumpet performance by Verneri Pohjola, a member of Tuomo & Markus, and also the trumpeter for whom renowned composer Kaija Saariaho composed her final work, the trumpet concerto "Hush."
