<p>Expand researched Estonia and Lithuania listening, regional traditions and contemporary repertoire; preserve native bindings and private geography.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Summary ==<br /> <br /> Estonian contemporary folk reworks traditional song, acoustic instruments and regional language in newly arranged songs and performance projects. It is distinct from treating every arrangement as unchanged regilaul or Seto leelo.<br /> <br /> == Contemporary and trending ==<br /> <br /> Duo Ruut, Puuluup and other groups place older sounds in contemporary concerts and recordings. Acoustic songwriting, looping and band arrangements coexist.&lt;ref&gt;[https://tmw.ee/artists/duo-ruut Tallinn Music Week: Duo Ruut].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> Folk revival and festival networks connect archives and community transmission with newly authored compositions and arrangements.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.musicestonia.eu/uudised/eestist-maailma-ekspordilood-duo-ruut Music Estonia: Duo Ruut export story].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.stationnarva.ee/en/news/station-narva-2025-aftermovie Station Narva: 2025 festival programme and aftermovie].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.folklore.ee/regilaul/introduction Estonian Literary Museum: Estonian regilaul database].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Musical characteristics ==<br /> <br /> Kannel, bowed lyre, voice, fiddle, guitar and percussion may combine with loops or amplification. Some works draw on runic-song repetition; others use modern song forms.<br /> <br /> == Geography and communities ==<br /> <br /> Viljandi is an important meeting point, while Tallinn, Tartu and southern communities connect performers, festivals and listeners nationally. Regional source traditions retain their separate geography.<br /> <br /> == Artists ==<br /> <br /> Trad.Attack!, Puuluup, Duo Ruut, Curly Strings, Mari Kalkun and Zetod illustrate distinct approaches; a Seto-inspired band recording is not automatically traditional leelo.<br /> <br /> == Related genres ==<br /> <br /> [[Estonian pop]]; [[Estonian hip-hop]]; [[Estonian rock and indie]]; [[Estonian electronic music]]; [[Kihnu song and dance music]].<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> &lt;references/&gt;</div>
