The jubilee festival which takes place in Viljandi city centre and Castle Hills is titled "Man's Song" which was chosen to draw people's attention to old songs which have been a matter of honour for the men and which inspire them and the women and children alike.
"By helping the contemporary man rediscover and diversify his role in traditional music, song and dance, we facilitate the development of the field and emphasise the aspect of it which have been forgotten," said the head of the largest and oldest folk music party in Estonia, Ando Kiviberg. "I am certain that it will once again be a cheerful and inspiring summer experience."
The Head of the Programme, Tarmo Noormaa, added that while choosing the foreign performers, they concentrated on the areas where the male side of the culture has been exceptionally strong. "However, we will not forget about our local inspiring performers like the followers of local singing traditions or kasatski dancers who are unique to Setomaa," explained Noormaa.
