In the stronghold of technology- and snaps singing culture, in Otaniemi, Finland, resides a small group of men and women with a varying aptitude for music. These folk, dressed in black and sporting medals, have been spotted blowing in their horns on various occasions and parties near you. Sometimes they are even invited. When you least expect (or wish for) it, they storm in and play various melodies in various tempos. Sometimes even the same song. All the while the thumping of the drum is slightly off the beat. Some members even think they know how to play the banjo, but they are allowed to come along either way. On gigs the audience can be seen stuffing parsley in their ears. For those that didn’t bring any, various gags and distractions might take the attention of the music for a bit. Sometimes Humpsvakar have even been observed to sing songs, often with slightly more tunes than that you would hope for.
