HUUUM by HUUUM

HUUUM's debut embodies the essence of Folk Futurism. Identifying as a band that reinterprets folklore in the present and envisions its role in the future, HUUUM recognizes folklore as a potent source of a community’s emotions—rage, desire, and sorrow. The band sees various dialects, dances, and tunes as a form of revolution, preserving elements that may one day be lost. Folklore music, shaped by times of war, oppression, uprising, and rebirth, continues to resonate.

The region known as Iran today is a mosaic of diverse cultures and languages. HUUUM's members express curiosity about delving into the music of this region, exploring its evolution through time, landscapes, history, and experimentalism. This debut album marks the beginning of HUUUM's musical journey.
