Kukerpillid

Estonia

The good old Kukrid, as they are lovingly called, are truehearted patriots of Viljandi Festival. A group whose music has brought up both the Festival team and our visitors. Who would not remember those wonderful TV shows for children with Artur the Cat and Leopold? Is there any Estonian who has not listened to their tapes until they turned into shreds? Is there any Estonian who has not been to a single concert by Kukerpillid?

At their performance this time, the ensemble will highlight cajun-music where drums are used and the main line is for the violin to play. While playing their traditional repertoire they will naturally use, depending on the theme, cello and bowed harp as well.
