“Mundo” is a 2018 single by IV of Spades that is about falling in love with someone and making them your world.
The rendition was performed by Kesämyrsky, a Finnish duo whose member Onni Hytönen is a semifinalist of “The Voice of Finland” and a street musician.
A look at their YouTube channel shows the duo has also covered other OPM songs, including Juan Karlos and Zild’s “Gabi.”

According to a translated version of their Spotify artist profile, they are from Southern Finland and have become part of Helsinki’s street scene as buskers.
