Estonia isnt actually as small as people think, world map is drawn not in proportion :D Estonia is bigger than Belgium,Switzerland,Netherlands and many other countries :D
Such a beautiful take on Estonia! I'm an American and I must Thank You for this interpretation of laulipidu. Estonians are wonderful people and I am PROUD of your efforts and I love Eesti for it.
+Vermon Seidel you speak complete crap - the few whites who were living in africa have been driven out of africa - by black africans! you can drive a car that was made in a different country - doesnt change your culture or your racial identity - introducing millions of people from other races into europe will slowly but surely cause the disappearance of white people and their cultures - everything about their identity will change - even their skin colour and dna once the race mixing takes off in earnest. Essentially you are preaching white genocide under the guise of international brotherhood. if l endorse policies that will cause your black race to disappear you will scream like a wounded pig! when white people complain about the multiculture thats being forced down their throats by the ruling elite and you - we are called racist! go to hell - you are the real racists!
+Aboutt Endays meh - another idiotic comment from another idiot. you are not even worth my time. ListenNeither race is greater than the other, we all need each other. Stop being just another idiot.
Estonians are one of the bravest and most resilient people I've ever seen. Despite centuries of repression from outsiders in an attempt to eradicate their identity and culture, they nevertheless persisted!
I was there... and yes the magic exist music is a universal language and with out knowing Estonian language just listening you will understand, the resistance of a culture for not disappearing, the history this country has endured.... I just remember walking in the crowd and i saw faces full of pride and grief and even tears no wonder why they have prevail every.
Olen elanud 12 aastat soomes. Tulin siia armastuse pärast. Nyyd on mees kaks kuud tagasi surnud ja nutan ainult oma armsat Eestit taga. Anna andeks kodumaa, et olen Sind väheks ajaks reetnud, sydames oled aina minuga olnud. Armastan, Sind muEESTIMAA
Just wait until Tallinn-Helsinki tunnel will be built... less than 30 minutes to travel - less Estonians in Finland and more Finnish in Estonia. Rise of real estate prices in Tallinn and suburbs. Rise of salaries. Rise of prices. Something that happened in East-Germany after reunion.
Amerika have god,they made so many mistakes,so they cant live without nonexistant thing what called god. We Estonians not need that word but we still pray! It called:soultalk ;)
Thank you for video and let hold eachother as one and let everyone stays at theyr country,protecting theyr home with blood if neccesary? All Estonians not most celabrateing with songs :) And This is not magic,This is life..Magic surely is amazing
Sooooo beautiful! I almost cried while listening to this, because of the beauty of the music, the beauty of the people, the beauty of singing and breathing all together... and also because I see there´s so little of European culture left pure in this multicultural continent, which is becoming more and more sick and Muslim. I hope you Estonians will always fight for your freedom and culture.
I have shared it too. I have met an Estonian woman who has shown me the 'Estonian soul'. Behind the 'cheesy' in this film which may not be to everyone's taste, there's a message here for the whole world I feel. But people have to remember that MAGIC is not always 'the art or practice of producing illusions etc. by sleight of hand'. Magic is also about 'the secret forces of nature' and 'any mysterious power or phenomenon that defies (scientific) analysis or explanation' (Longmans Modern English Dictionary)! This is the Magic the film is talking about, and the message for me is that we musn't, we CAN'T, wait for the scientists to catch up before we start paying attention and responding to this absolutely vital message that Nature is trying to tell us.
To me this "magic" is the amazing grace and protection of God over Estonia. God has a special plan with this country and He longs for the people to turn to Him. His hand over this land is so evident. If you only knew about the awakening that took place in Estonia some years before the re-independence, the prophesies given to this nation etc. God is real and God cares not only about individuals but also entire nations. We must humble ourselves and seek Him with all our hearts. He has so much more in store!
@@MrDoggen02 They are pissed off , because Estonia and Finland always protects Western world from Communist invasion, and they have never managed to conquer via military campaign. I recommend checking out documentary about Battle of Bluehills.... (or wiki -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tannenberg_Line ) every single estonian-russian i know literally claims event like that never happened. Clearly russians are not being teached that in school. Embarrasment runs deep... It's the second time they failed, during Indepence war, they also got rekt hard at Narva border.(while bolshevik delegates were making deals for independence... estonians were crushing 2 entire russian armies with limited forces... legends say, that the corpses were so many, that they formed almost like mountains...) Estonia is somewhat nicely protected geographically... well it was in the past... since you can't just go thru Lakes with tanks you know.. So Narva is kind of like tunnel... like in that movie "300" with spartans, where you can bottleneck the enemy. Well what's the take away? I guess it's simple... don't fuck with estonians. They are few,but if you endanger their existence, they go berserk.
So beautiful -- Breathing Together -- 100,000 people gathered singing songs of LOVE as one. A foretaste of heaven! God bless Estonia! Peace, Bro. Gordon
Filipinos FROM the PHILIPPINES also are ONE OF THE TOP RESILIENT PEOPLE of this PLANET EARTH. Wesing a 3 thousand year old songs about the SEAS, OCEANS, MOUNTAINS AND ABOUT LIFE.
Igavesti Sinu, mu isamaa Kuni viimse liigutuseni, Sinu eest, selle maa eest, nende hetkede eest, mis oled pakkunud metsades, mis inimesi oled enda pinnal kasvatanud ning minuni toonud, selle eest seisan, ma oma vere hinnaga. 🇪🇪🤍
im estonian and i saw my sis in the vid clip and its true that we sing us to fredom i just love pingi estonian and tankyou for the coments ihave a channel if u want to hear how estonians talk tank you
This is not including people of Estonian heritage living and working abroad, such as in Finland and Sweden, and Estonian communities in Canada, the US and Australia, for starters.
Estonians reveal closest similarities to the nearest neighbouring populations, regardless of their language group. The genetic heterogeneity and antagonistic traits in Estonians seem to be traces of the original genetic structure of Finno-Ugric ancestor populations which were neither Mongoloid nor Caucasoid.
No such thing. Europeans come from a mix of western hunter gathers, eastern hunter gathers, Caucasus hunter gathers, and Neolitic farmers from the middle east ie Turkey
woltzey You have 1 day to make it to Estonia and listen those songs by yourself. Better get moving :P.Get yourself an account @ couchsurfing.org, find place in Tallinn, buy yourself a ticket to Estonia. It's that easy :P
It's Laulusild (Song Bridge) by Veljo Tormis, and then there are Ta Lendab Mesipuu Poole, Mu Isamaa On Minu Arm, Ei Ole Üksi Ükski Maa, Eestane Olen ja Eestlaseks Jään, Lauliku Lapsepõli and many more :)
I have a question. In this video you can see a lot of blonde Estonians. But Estonians speak a Finno-Ugric language. Did Scandinavians once settle in what is now Estonia? Or were there Germanic tribes there? Because many Estonians in this video don't really look Finno-Ugric. Especially with the Hungarians and Finns, you can see from the slightly Asian facial features that they have Finno-Ugric ancestry. Just for example in minute 1:50; 3:35; the boy at 4:26 or the two blonde guys at 4:30. They could also be Swedes, Germans or Englishmen, from the appearance.
Estonia was occupied by Germanic orders from 13th century, afterwards by Swedish Empire from 16th century and after the Northern War of 18th century by Russia - retaining the German overlords in so-called Special Baltic Order within Russian Empire.
Its because then they can control how many people can go inside the festival territory, to avoid crushing or stamping each other. Ticket price is also very low its around 5€ maybe or even less? Also they need to rent all the equipment etc, so at least with ticket money they can pay for these kinds of things.
Its sad to see how many people in the comments use this beautiful tradition to promote nationalist values. This is about solidarity, sharing a feeling with strangers and coming together as humans... it doesn't depend on your cultural background or even the language you speak. And this togetherness is certainly not destroyed by immigrants or different cultures, but by people spreading hate and trying to divide.
+kjanling It's problably because you don't know the feeling of fear for your country, the agony of keepig your culture, even your country flag(people went to jail in the soviet union times if they showed blue-black-white ) a secret.
Behind this "cheese" is the actual struggle and fight for freedom, language, culture and national identity that only small nations know and understand.
