In the joint programme of indie folk artist Mari Kalkun and ENMC, Kalkun’s contemporary folk sound intertwines with the primal musical language of Veljo Tormis. The choir’s velvety timbre, combined with the singer’s charismatic and warm stage presence, invites the listener on an unforgettable journey — from intimate, introspective moments to powerful sonic landscapes. Together, they create a bridge between the roots of Estonian folk tradition and modern musical expression. This deeply moving programme — and its remarkable synergy — is captured on the album Stoonia lood live, released in 2025.
