Amok Amor at We Jazz 2016 – photo by Maarit Kytöharju
Starting from December 1st, Amok Amor has performed seven concerts in Finland and Estonia, culminating in two festival presentations: in Tallinn on December 5th at Jõulu Jazz and in Helsinki on December 7th at We Jazz. The ultimate combo from Berlin and New York has given its listeners a mind-blowing treat at the beginning of the Christmas season. Several concert reviews praised their shows – “a highly rewarding and a mind-renewing experience”, so writes Joern Peeck in his report of the concert in Tallinn.
