A voice that seems to speak to us from the heart of the Estonian forest, Mari Kalkun’s music is at once of a place and deeply personal. Combining folk traditions with innovative songwriting, Mari Kalkun – a multiple award winner, singer, songwriter and instrumentalist – is one of the most forward-looking folk artists in Estonia today. Her lyrics – in Estonian and Võro language – delve into the relationship between humans and nature. “Mari’s singing is at the heart of things; joyous and lamenting by turns, but always poised and melodious.” (Neil Spencer, The Guardian).
