Reval Folk at Finno-Ugric Days: Maria Kalaniemi (FIN), Tuulikki Bartosik (EST) and Toorama (Mordva)

Who are we? From where do we come from? What do kinship and tribe mean to us? What connects us? On the 19th of October Reval Folk invites you to a concert in the Finno-Ugric Days to find answers to these questions together.
 
This time we have the honour of welcoming a world renowned Finnish accordion player – Maria Kalaniemi; her long-time student, and now colleague – Estonian accordionist Tuulikki Bartosik will perform with her as well. The second main performer is the legendary group Toorama, from the Mordovia Republic in Russia, who showcases traditional male singing. They last visited Estonia 10 years ago.
 
After the concert there will be a singing circle with Jaan Sarv, who is a singer and karmoška (garmon) player from Setomaa, South Estonia, who currently resides in Tallinn. 
 
The evening is devoted to the connections of kinship and tribe-ties that Estonians have with Finno-Ugric people. Through folklore and the language of sound, the past and the present will hold a dialogue at this concert, like different patterns of the same traditional belt.
