Polka Now: Trad.Attack! and "Nüüdispolka"



From Estonia, Trad.Attack!, an innovative band from Estonia provides us with our random tune for today. Trad.Attack! starts from a base of Estonian traditional folk songs and adds modern rock and pop influences as well as looping of past voices in Estonian music and culture. They are a multi-year multiple winner of the Estonian Music Awards. Formed in 2013, the band has a goal of performing in every country in the world. At last count they were up in the 30s. You can find this song, Nüüdispolka, on their 2017 CD Kullakarva (Shimmer Gold). No, it is not nudist polka - it means Polka Now!
