Hiiu kandle duo Puuluup started in 2014 and its members are Ramo Teder (as a solo artist in Pastaca) and Marko Veisson (who is also an anthropologist). Their first album “Süüta mu lumi” was released in 2018 and the second album “Viimane suusataja” in 2021.

In addition to numerous performances in Estonia, they have performed in Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, Finland, France, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxenbourg, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, UK, Ukraine, Hungary and USA.

Together with the band 5MIINUST, they represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden in 2024 and made it to the grand final. Shortly before that they also released the joint album “Kannatused ehk külakiigel pole stopperit”.

Crossing Hiiu kannel with electronics, Puuluup oscillates on the border of tradition and modern music styles, flirting with world music, underground and pop. Puuluup controls the vibrations of hiiu kannel’s strings through effect blocks and the looper and uses alternative playing techniques and sound generation options. Electronically amplified echoes, knocks, squeaks and scrapes are added to the soft hiss of Hiiu kannel. The music is at times dance-pulsating and at times cinematic and dark, creeping in and carried over from the chambers of the ancient Vormsi talharpists. It sounds like original creations impregnated with tradition, references to punk classics and romantic neo-zombie post-folk with educational content.

The men themselves say modestly about their work: “Our main message in the context of folk music is that, look, you can do all kinds of things with the hiiu kandel, learn the instrument and make your own music.”
