Folk song · 1965

Folk song from Tõstamaa: “Sööge, langud!”

A regilaul, the old Estonian runic song, sung by Liina Irdt in Tõstamaa parish and recorded in 1965 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.
