Jari & Taika, the band that is leading the liking poll in UMK's website and is a hot favourite to win the national final next February has made a promise: if they win they will drive to Baku across Europe with their Zetor tractor! That would be their PR-tour as they would drive the Zetor to city squares and play mini concerts on the trailer. Anyways, the band that consist of amateur musicians who in real life are farmers, service man, mechanic and a weather technician. The singer Jari Mustajärvi tells the song came to him one late night in spring 2011, thus the title Aamuyön ikuisuus (Eternity of the late night/early morning). He had it on his hard disc that broke down. Because of the tsunami in Japan it took 8 weeks before he got a new one, then there were the farming work to be done in summer before he got to working on it again. He thinks all that was faith. This way the song had time to develop and mature in his mind. Then he sent it to UMK just that people would here it. The rest is, as they say, history.
