<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 /> Kihnu song and dance music brings together the living music of Kihnu and Manija, including older song, social dance, instrumental transmission and identifiable locally authored popular songs.<br /> <br /> == Contemporary and trending ==<br /> <br /> Community teaching, music camps and contemporary performances sustain the repertoire. Kihnu Virve’s authored songs and Kihnu Poisid recordings are included as local popular music, not mislabelled as anonymous ancient song.&lt;ref&gt;[https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/kihnu-cultural-space-00042 UNESCO: Kihnu cultural space].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> Kihnu’s cultural space includes music, language, clothing and customary life, with women playing a major role in transmission. Older runic singing coexists with later dance and song layers.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.kultuuriruum.ee/en/sa-kihnu-kultuuriruum-eng/ Kihnu Cultural Space Foundation].&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 /> Voices, fiddle, accordion and dance rhythms appear in different settings. Runic song and later strophic songs have different forms and should remain distinguishable.<br /> <br /> == Geography and communities ==<br /> <br /> The strongest connection is Kihnu and Manija in the Gulf of Riga. Pärnu and mainland performance networks provide secondary links; the entire western archipelago is not a single Kihnu tradition.<br /> <br /> == Artists ==<br /> <br /> Kihnu Virve, Kihnumua, Kihnu Poisid and identified island instrumentalists and younger players represent different parts of this musical life.<br /> <br /> == Related genres ==<br /> <br /> [[Estonian pop]]; [[Estonian hip-hop]]; [[Estonian rock and indie]]; [[Estonian contemporary folk]]; [[Estonian electronic music]].<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> &lt;references/&gt;</div>
