Folk song · 1937

Folk song from Kihnu: “Linad liulaskjale!”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Reet Sutt in Kihnu parish and recorded in 1937 for the Estonian Folklore Archives. In regilaul a lead singer sings each line and the others repeat it; the songs were passed on by ear for centuries, at work, at weddings and around the village swing.
