In the 1970-80-ies, in spite of the occupation, original music with funk, soul and jazz influences was both heard on the radio and played at parties in Estonia. However, a lot of unpublished music has remained in the archives to wait for its time.

Now the time has come - with the help of vocalists Rita Ray, Robert Linna and Ivo Linna, to re-introduce this music again.

Concert programme includes the repertoire of Estonian legendary groups and soloists like Apelsin, Marju Kuut, Els Himma, Gunnar Graps and compositions by Raivo Tammik, Uno Naissoo and Valter Ojakäär.

A tribute to Estonian music legends is organised by Eesti Kontsert and Estonian Funk Embassy.
