Talambo's music combines jazz grooves and progressive rock with electronic music.
The additional concerts on the Jazz Finland tour, that originally were to take place in March, are postponed until fall season 2021. The tour covers six concerts in the cities of Oulu, Joensuu, Kuopio, Savonlinna, Jyväskylä and Espoo.
