Folk song · 1959

Folk song from Kihnu: “Uni, tule silma peale!”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Anna Köster in Kihnu parish and recorded in 1959 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.
