The new online information channel for Finnish rhythm music, Funky Finland, was launched in summer 2022. Besides spreading information in Finnish and English on the local acts, the aim of the project is to help the most potential artists in their internationalization and to create new opportunities for them in the global music market. Funky Amigos has also represented for example Mama Longhorn and Dashing Waves at WOMEX, the biggest international event for music professionals.
