Konsta, Kusti & Faarao

**Konsta, Kusti & Faarao** are a Finnish jazz trio blending avant-garde experimentation with tight, groove-driven interplay. Comprising Konsta Mikkonen (drums), Kusti Ukkonen (drums/percussion), and Faarao Pirttikangas (guitar), the group thrives on Helsinki’s boundary-pushing jazz scene, where their collaborative energy fuels a mix of hypnotic rhythms and textural exploration. Tracks like “Vainu” and “Airoetuteoria” showcase their knack for balancing raw spontaneity with meticulous craftsmanship, often weaving electronic elements into their acoustic foundation. While each member is active in other projects (like Koma Saxo or Mopo), their work together feels like a playful laboratory for rhythmic innovation—a space where jazz tradition collides with futuristic curiosity.
