Tarmo Pihlap 75 – “White Roses” On 21 April 2027, it will be 75 years since the birth of Tarmo Pihlap, one of Estonia’s most beloved singers. Tarmo Pihlap was an artist whose voice, musicianship, and individuality left a deep mark on Estonian music. Tarmo’s musical career began in his youth. He studied at the Heino Eller Tartu Music School, and his teacher described him as “a child whose fingers shine with gold.” Tarmo Pihlap was an exceptionally versatile musician: he sang in many different genres, played several instruments, and was also admired as an excellent yodeler.   Over the years, Tarmo Pihlap played in the ensembles Varjud, Jüngrid, Melodica, Palderjan, FIX, and Vana Toomas. He was also known as a solo artist, and it was as a solo performer that he became one of the most beloved pop singers of his time, with a repertoire spanning folk songs, country, pop, and romantic ballads. His great role model was Artur Rinne, whose songs he also loved to perform. He sang the Estonian-language part in the recording of “Wake Up, Baltics,” one of the signature songs of the Singing Revolution of 1987–1991. From 1993 to 1995, Tarmo Pihlap hosted the music program series “Tarmo Album.” At concerts marking the 75th anniversary of Tarmo Pihlap’s birth, audiences will hear the songs he made famous and still love today.
