Wirbel – Estonian traditional music

The name is derived from the fact that all our instruments have tuning pins - virbel.

We present folk songs, also more recent songs that are not yet so played-out. An important place in our repertoire belongs to traditional instrumental folk music in arrangements that perfectly suit our modern world.

You can dance and sing along to our music, which at times requires a bit of concentration, but most importantly – we try to live in modern times.
