| Estonian here. * Worst song ever in the history of space (they were hoping to go to the Eurovision with this, and iirc almost succeeded; later they were actually invited to the Paris Fashion Week to perform this on stage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dllo85ZSUk (Winny Puhh - Meiecundimees üks Korsakow läks eile Lätti / Korsakow, a guy from our area, went to Latvia yesterday) * There is something very Estonian about this (not only the landscapes, it's actually a funny song, but very heart-warming): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVfPf006Vw0 (Orelipoiss - See alles jääb / Organ Boy - This Will Remain) * A camp classic from the 1990s, sung and performed by a former chemistry teacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoZG75CTB7g (Onu Bella - Ma võtsin viina / Uncle Bella - I Drank Some Vodka) * Something I discovered recently -- stunning conteporary folk. It's an old spell from Estonian folklore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Kpt0fFgME (Duo Ruut - Tuule sõnad / Words for Wind) * Maybe the most popular contemporary folk group in Estonia these days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP3wAfIIhAo (Trad.Attack! - Kallimale / To My Dearest) * An influential acapella group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cjuTYZBWOI (Estonian Voices - Kättemaks / Revenge) * Another widely loved singer is Mari Kalkun, mostly interpreting older songs in the Võru dialect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AClRxNvbiZY (Mari Kalkun - Mõtsavele mäng / Forest Brother Game) * Ah, and I'll also add Vennaskond, a punk (sort-of; hard to define actually) group that was strangely loved by everybody in the 1990s, inclunding those who generally hated rock music. This song is not typical for them, but I sometimes listen to this when I want to be sad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oppqjn1voWo (Vennaskond - Depressiiv-maniakaalne psühhoos / Manic Depressive Psychosis) |
