The earliest mentioning of Estonian singing dates back to Saxo
Grammaticus Gesta Danorum (c.1178). The song speaks of Estonian
Warriors who sang before an epic battle. Estonian folk music is
divided into 2 periods. The older folksongs, also referred to as
runic songs and the newer folksongs, also known as rhythmic
folksongs, which replaced the runic songs in the 18th century. The
biggest Estonian music festival nowadays is the Estonian Singing
and Dancing celebration (laulu ja tantsupidu), which started in
1869 and has been an Estonian tradition ever since. It takes place
in one of Estonias most famous places, The Singing Arc. The
festival is being held in every Baltic State every five years. The
most prominent Estonian artists nowadays are: composers Arvo Prt
and Veljo Tormis, a band Ewert & The Two Dragons and a DJ Mord
Fustang. By the way Ewert & The Two Dragons and Mord Fustang
have OVER 3 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE!!! WOW!!!
