Travel with us to Estonia and Finland for the first episode of our documentary series ¡Globaquerque! Sojourns as we visit with Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson, a/k/a Puuluup, one of the most delightful and original music discoveries we have come across.  We will hang out, cook, longboard, shop, drink, record and more with Ramo and Marko and families and friends!

 

Oh! Yeah! There will be music, too!

Abou
t Puuluup

What to get when you mix a pinch of surrealism, a bit of modern folklore, a heaping helping of talharpa revival and blend it together through effect blocks and loopers? The answer is the neo-zombie-post-folk Estonian duo Puuluup! Ramo Teder (aka Pastacas) and Marko Veisson have virtually resurrected the ancient talharpa (bowed lyre), popular in Northern Europe since the early middle ages and played on Western Estonian islands until the beginning of 20th century. But this is not an ethnomusicological romp. Puuluup directs the vibrations of the talharpa’s horsehair strings through effects, using alternative bowing and rhythm techniques. The mellow sighs of talharpa are paired with electronically amplified echoes, knocks, creaks and crackles, while still maintaining the instrument’s natural sound.  And it is all presented with a unique sense of humor and originality: They play with music as they play with words, sometimes even creating their own language.

 

As the duo states: “We draw inspiration from Vormsi nights, trams in November, junkies in love, criminals from Odessa and Antonio Vivaldi.”  Indeed.

Laughing Hare Hot Glass

Theresa Laferriere's fused glass is a unique as the artist herself. Melting glass, cutting glass and creating mosaics and kaleidoscopes is what it is all about for her. In Theresa's words: "I continue to pursue creativity as a reason for living. Because of this I am constantly given creative impetus. This is a good thing."
 

Glass is a substance made of sand, charcoal, and soda ash. For some glass other substances such as quartz or flint are used. Glass is fluid at high temperatures, and passes to a solid condition when cooled. Metallic oxides are used to color glass. Glass is unique in its ability to provide for essential human needs as well as delight, intriguing the viewer with light as it is carried through glass.

Artist Statement

I was excited to be selected as the 2022 Official Poster Artist for ¡Globalquerque!

New Mexico's 18th Annual Celebration of World Music & Culture held Albuquerque, NM. I wanted to create a visual explosion that captures the dynamic intersection of music and culture that represents the ¡Globalquerque experience!. It was a challenge to represent so many different kinds of people without excluding any groups, so I settled on the idea of using animals. I’ve selected one endangered species from each of the seven continents playing seven different instruments. The coyotes dancing in the foreground represent New Mexico and the ¡Globalquerque! audience. I took special notice to represent the Ukrainian struggle with the traditional Ukrainian kobza, (part of the lute family, with 4 gut-strings and a body hewn from a single block of wood) in the center of the image.

 

Animal Representations:
North America | Accordion | American Bison
South America | Cymbals | Wooly Monkey
Europe | Kobza Guitar | Barbary Sheep
Africa | Congos | Grevy’s Zebra
Australia | Harmonica | Koala
Antarctica | Maracas | N. Rockhop. Penguin
Asia | Sax | Amur Tiger

​

Sean's original piece is entitled "Los Animales Nocturnos"
