Vienna-based live project HUUUM embodies the essence of Folk Futurism. Identifying as a band that reinterprets folklore in the present and envisions its role in the future, HUUUM recognizes folklore as a potent source of a community’s emotions—rage, desire, and sorrow. The band sees various dialects, dances, and tunes as a form of revolution, preserving elements that may one day be lost. Folklore music, shaped by times of war, oppression, uprising, and rebirth, continues to resonate.

The live project of Omid Darvish, Rojin Sharafi and Alvaro collao león merges Folk-influenced Iranian vocals with free jazz, ambience and electronic beats and impulses, bringing us dance music of an entirely new kind. Atypical rhythms and microtonal music, singing in multiple languages, sensitive improvization, and the interlacing of artforms and cultures - HUUUM leads with transcension and lands with movement.

This September HUUUM will be coming to the UK for three live shows:

23rd September: London, Cafe Oto - Tickets
24th September: Bristol, Strange Brew - Tickets
26th September: Glasgow, The Flying Duck
