“The ensemble has arranged older Estonian runo songs and tunes to make them sound more contemporary since 1996. According to our conception you can find archaic folk music in pop, jazz and metal dressing. We have been searching for our own style as well as for different sounds and listeners. Many of this has already been found. During this time we have released two CDs, however, the search continues and goes ever deeper because the sources are inexhaustible.”
