Estonian Folk

Estonian folk music is a rich tapestry of traditional sounds stemming from the cultural history of Estonia, blending ancient songs known as "regilaulud" with contemporary interpretations. It is characterized by its haunting melodies, harmonic vocal styles, and use of traditional instruments such as the kannel (a type of zither), fiddle, and accordion. Artists like RÜÜT and Anna-Liisa Eller have been known to infuse classical training with authentic lore, preserving the folk heritage while revitalizing it for modern audiences. Bands like Svjata Vatra bring a fiery energy to the genre, often incorporating elements from neighboring cultures, reflecting Estonia's historical crossroads. These musicians strike a balance between the ritualistic roots of Estonian music and a dynamic, evolving sound that resonates with the heart of the Baltic spirit.
