Helen Saarniit and Sulev Reisberg

Estonia

Helen and Sulev or Pihlakaklubi (Rowanberry Club) met by a twist of fate in a suitable environment at an Estonian Song Festival, and from the first moment on they started singing folk songs to each other. A couple of ethno music camps followed and the love towards folk music grew and grew. They started rehearsing regularly as a band in autumn 2004 and found that it filled them with immense joy. Always with a smile on their faces they value and look for the energy and spirit in the folksong arrangements as well as go forward with their own compositions created through experimenting with different rhythms and mixing elements of world music.
