Something else from Finland!

SEMMARIT from Finland bring out the biggest ghetto blaster ever!

Semmarit is a unique cross-artistic a cappella show group of 21 men from Finland. The music and lyrics, choreographies, arrangements, basically everything this wild but warm-hearted bunch does on stage is self-made and unique. Even the stage itself: a full-size lorry that transforms into a giant ghetto blaster in just a couple of minutes!

Semmarit-show is a mixture of music, humour, dance and drama, spiced with guts and glory. These guys are famous for their fun, strong and mind-blowing live performance. It´s not a band, it´s not a choir – it´s something else from the North for you to figure out!

The group has made various tours abroad including Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Estonia, Portugal, U.S. and Canada. During 2010-2011 Semmarit visited China four times for various tv and live performances. It has also had its own TV shows and twice a top 40 number 1. selling album in Finland. Semmarit has published 10 CDs and two DVDs.
