Description was written before the event

A musical drama about Unto Mononen's brief life and the women in his life during 1960s tango-era Finland. The programme features beloved songs that have passed from generation to generation: Satumaa, Stars Over the Sea, Lapland Tango, Land of Fortune, and Rain Tango.

Mononen from Somero was a rare phenomenon in the 1950s-60s - a full-time professional composer of entertainment music in Finland. His best-known work, Satumaa, is one of the most iconic Finnish tango songs. Mononen died at just 37 years old from a gunshot wound whose intent remained unclear.
