Folk song from Suure-Jaani: “Huiked”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Marta Vist in Suure-Jaani parish and recorded in 1961 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.
