Groove of ESSR III: Soul, Jazz-Funk & Easy Listening from Estonia

30,00

Groove of ESSR III marks the next chapter in highlighting the musical heritage trapped behind the Iron Curtain during the Soviet occupation. Funk Embassy Records is proud to present this piece of history on a 12”, 180g vinyl with a printed innersleeve full of notes, as well as digitally. The tracklist curated by Henrik Ehte and Ingvar Kassuk spans recordings from 1971–1983 by Estonian artists, most of whom were born under a foreign regime after the war. Nevertheless, they had relatives in the West and antennas tuned in to Finnish radio signals. In a closed-off world, they had the courage to explore the groove without borders.
