Great band from Petrozavodsk, Karelia
In the earlier days the people were wandering over unknown lands in search of better destiny. Their songs travelled together them. Settling in a new place they enriched the local singing traditions. The idea of some kind of spiritual travelling, of mutual integration of different musical cultures is in the basic of the first album titled "Strange People".
