On the show this time, it’s the Estonian zither songs of Duo Ruut.
Duo Ruut is the stunning musical project of Estonian musicians and songwriters, Ann-Lisett Rebane and Katariina Kivi. They play a large Kannel, an Estonian Zither, while singing in harmony. They draw from Baltic traditions, but in reality they are creating a completely new sound. They have released an album - 2019’s Tuule sõnad, and the EP Kulla kerguseks available on Bandcamp or through their own website.
Recorded 12/07/2022.
