Tango market finalist Sari Tuliniemi works at the airport

The top eight singers were selected for the finals.

Living in Kirkkonummi Sari Tuliniemi43, is one of the finalists in the Tango Market. A small heart Tuliniemi, who charmed the jury with the song “, is participating in the tango market for the third time.

Tuliniemi tells Iltalehti that he has prepared for the semi-finals by training his competition track, but also by listening to the tango more than usual in general. The new finalist says he is very pleased with his final draw.

– I was pleased with this performance when the audience was here. In the general rehearsal the hall was empty and only the jury was there, I had a pretty exciting feeling about it. That bet was ok too, but now that I got in touch with the audience, so! Tuliniemi says excitedly.

Tuliniemi took his friend to the semi-finals, which took place at the Vantaa Culture House in Martinus.

– He’s been a golden friend today. He has figured out whether to shine his face and offer a bottle of water a little. At home, I am encouraged by my three lovely children and other relatives.

– My friend told me right after the semi-finals that there will be messages on my phone all the time, he continues.

From the airport to Tango Market

Tuliniemi works at Finnair at check-in and in connection with aircraft take-off. He notes that there is no problem combining work and training for the finals.

Tuliniemi participated in the Tango Market “jacket open” 13 years ago and did not get the final place. She says the green semi-final dress dates back to those times.

– I bought this dress for those races. Since I never got to use this, it has hung tags attached to the closet. Now I introduced it. Yes, I have to go shopping for the finals, Tuliniemi reveals.

The finalist notes that after the weekend, “relentless training” begins. In addition to the competition pieces, you also need to train for physical fitness in order to survive the competitions.

– More song, it’s not a win for free. There must be humility involved.

When asked about Tuliniemi’s favorite bar, the answer is clear. He hopes to perform in Seinäjoki Aino Niemen a song composed by For life.

– I had my taps open for an hour when I first heard it!

The final of the Tango Market will take place in Seinäjoki in July.
