quick tour of estonian music

found a great database of estonian ancient folk songs with sounds AND notes
http://www.folklore.ee/Kannel/index2.html
on first page there is introduction in Estonian and with uprow links you get to the databases of songs (laulud) form different parts of Estonia - Võrumaa, Lõuna(south)-Tartumaa, Muud (other). Arhiivilindistused are soundtracks from the archive of Estonian Literature Museum.
these are mostly the most ancient estonian songs called regilaulud
and sounding all the same and boring to listen
the trick with regilaulud is that someone who knows the words sings first alone
and others try to guess the last word of the line and sing along
and so they'll not fall asleep cause they have all the time to pay attention to what's going on to sing along
...
try untsakad
a popular modern estonian folk band
and väikeste lõõtspillide ühing
you probably don't have these letters on your keyboard but u could copypaste :):)
and justament
and probably many of their songs are their property and you should ask a permission if u plan to earn huge sums with their tunes or anything
