Dalindèo, one of Finland's leading jazz ensembles, will release their new album Follow the Dark Money in November and perform a tour from 28th November to 11th December. With the release, Dalindèo makes their views on global themes public to live audiences.

The band’s fifth full-length album follows in the footsteps of their Dark Money EP released in spring 2020. The EP's release tour was unfortunately interrupted as the corona pandemic stalled the world. The recent collection of eight compositions is the artistic reaction of band leader Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen to the current state of the world, where the inequality of individuals and the number of international conflicts have become more and more critical. In addition to the dark and menacing shades hinted at by the EP, there are also more hopeful flashes of light in Follow the Dark Money.

The Jazz-Emma award-winning Dalindèo is a six-piece band founded in 2004, known as one of the stylistic pioneers of Finnish jazz. The band's previous releases, led by jazz guitarist and composer Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen, are Open Scenes (2007) and Soundtrack for the Sound Eye (2010) released by Ricky-Tick Records, and Kallio (2013) and Slavic Souls (2016) released by Suomen Musiikki. Pöyhönen is also known e.g. as the leader of Ricky-Tick Big Band and from a recent collaboration with PK Keränen of 22 Pistepirkko.
