  • Sounds and Stories from Ruhnu Island

“In particular, I like the sense of respect for place, for people, for tradition and for transmission that you manage to convey in the whole package. It speaks to my soul even if it is of a place I have never been to in a language I do not know.” — Tom Sherlock, Ireland

"They incorporated music, song, dance and storytelling in a way that most of the audience who have never been familiar with Estonian culture and traditions, came away as if they had gone for a short visit to the heartland of Estonia and mixed with the locals of the countryside there.”   — Breanndán Ó Beaglaoich, musician, Ireland

"Listening to this music, you find yourself on the historical and contemporary  Ruhnu island at the same time, which is connected by a waves, pinetrees, beaches of white sand, evil mosquitoes, two churches and the Ruhnu violin camp organized by Karoliina Kreintaal and friends. Ruhnu seems like a remote and isolated island in the Baltic sea, which is worth visiting. " — Leanne Barbo / "Music" magazine

With their music, Karoliina, Lee, Sänni and Kairi look beyond the Ruhnu bear and the Baltic herring war with Latvia, focusing into the traditions and everyday life of Ruhnu island and its people. In this way, three musicians and storytellers bring us to an island with a very rich cultural heritage, which carries an exciting symbiosis of Swedish and Estonian cultures, as well as stories and songs unique to this island."  — Tarmo Noormaa / Head of the Estonian Traditional Music Center
