Conga Se Menne, a band hailing from Marquette, Michigan, brings a lighthearted traditional “Finnish twist” to reggae, rock, blues, Latin, funk, and Caribbean. These high-spirited, highly talented musicians have delighted audiences at concerts and regional festivals throughout Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, as well as in northern Minnesota. Their hearty sounds were also featured at FinnFest 2008.
