Here is the original, recorded in New York 1.6.1930: /watch?v=P59U0jFMxxo

Even though I have no understanding of the language the music is the story of humanity encompassed in and interpreted through sound. This particular music is so natural and organic sounding, in a world where everything is becoming so synthetic this is really beautifully refreshing, true earth music. Thank you for sharing this.

[weebonnieladdie]

then we are Irish of the North, as this is where we live...:))))

[tuulabruno]

Tää on ihana!!!! Thank you :)))))) is my country..from Finland this music is very ,very old:))

[Svansakuten]

Thank you guys, you are great! Yihhee!

[Giliako]

after viewing many music videos that came from Finland it appears I need to visit that country! Loved this song, Will share it with some friends.

[Filosofemn]

Got more this music?

[Filosofemn]

Have more this music? 

[iammoonlight1130]

I met them, I said. My aunt is Lisa Comer, their "manager" in the US

[iammoonlight1130]

I understand that this song is in Finnish, people.

[iammoonlight1130]

Do you know where they live? Petrozavodsk, Karelia. They know Karelian. I've meet them and they started talking in Karelian whenever they didn't want me or anyone else in my family to understand. You should be asking be who I know, not what.

[timomastosalo]

@iammoonlight1130 - Their language is karelian I believe that. But this song they've made in Finnish. they know both languages, coz they're close like british and anerican english. I'm a Finn

[iammoonlight1130]

@timomastosalo You don't understand. I asked them about that. My aunt is Lisa Comer - I've had a chance to meet them.

[timomastosalo]

@iammoonlight1130 - I understand: that they are Carelian, that you know them, have met them and that they speak Carelian. BUT they sing THIS song in Finnish (though they might sing most of their songs in Carelian). I'm a Finn - I hear my language hear. And I have heard Carelian., because studied Finnish language as a major in university - we had a course where we listened the main dialects of (Eastern) Carelian + Tver Carelian + Vepsic(-an) + Livvi.

[iammoonlight1130]

@timomastosalo I understand that! Renbuzhi said that they never sang in Karelian and I said they did. I didn't say this song. I said that they did.

[timomastosalo]

@iammoonlight1130 - Alright, thank you - your last comment let me to believe it was this. Sorry. I followed your tip to the beginning of the debate, so your real topic :) good luck, and patience. Why don't you ask these fellows to comment here themselves? Counterarguments would stop :) + I lift a thumb to you for being interested in this kind a non main stream music, and culture. How did the 'Karelian fly' bite you?

[Spyflugan91]

@timomastosalo I dont think theyre Carelian my friend.

[iammoonlight1130]

@Spyflugan91 They are.

[sumerpigy]

@Spyflugan91 , Arto Rinne is a finnish guy from Petroskoi, but Dedushka was russian

[Spyflugan91]

@sumerpigy Yea thank you for information but i was thinking on that he said 'Carelian' instead of Karelian :)

[Svansakuten]

They are from Petrodavorsk students living in US. And great! 

[IllWilledandhappy]

@timomastosalo @timomastosalo i think out of the little debate going on hre I'll believe the Finn. Another comparison that is not as close would be my native language Ghaelige na hEireann and Scots Gael. I also hear in this song that is veritably Finnish for I have heard Finnish. This is definitely Finnish.

[iammoonlight1130]

@IllWilledandhappy I believe that they believe I am talking about this one song. I'm not - I'm talking as a whole. This song I believe was written by a Finnish-American, I'll not deny it's Finnish. I'm talking about their songs as whole. I'm still talking, in a sense, to renbuzhi. Sorry if this is a misinterpretation.

[IllWilledandhappy]

@iammoonlight1130 i understand sorry if i vexed you.

[iammoonlight1130]

@IllWilledandhappy No harm done.

[Karel69482]

@iammoonlight1130 На сколько я знаю (а знаю я это хорошо, так как живу в Карелии) карельский язык в отличии от финского шипящий. Делайте выводы

[imfeelinghungry]

this is quite the catchy song. great stuff!

[renbuzhi]

Only the name is Karelian, unfortunately... They sing in standard Finnish language, sometimes in Russian, but never Karelian. They just can't speak it...

[kloiten]

@renbuzhi That's disappointing. Karelian is so cool. I'm proud that the Karelians live in my home country. It's really an honor :]

[iammoonlight1130]

@renbuzhi No, they sing in Karelian. I've seen them live before, it's Karelian.

[renbuzhi]

@iammoonlight1130

Oh, really?:)

The thing is not to see them, but to hear and understand. My native tongue is Karelian, and I also know Finnish, which allows me to conclude what language it was, doesn't it?

[pietarilaine]

@renbuzhi

>They sing in standard Finnish language, sometimes in Russian, but never Karelian.

Ootko sie varma siitä? youtube.com/watch?v=21mUP4Mjp6­s

[renbuzhi]

@pietarilaine

Noo kyllä, olen täysin varma siitä. Kuuntele heijän lauluja, siis itsekin kuulet.

[OminousYearning]

Tämä on erittäin viihdyttävä! :)

[tonkacsa]

nice

[sulray]

great music ,karelians must be the Irish of the east...

[Svansakuten]

We are from the Viking Area, and you are on the border to Europe as well. Carelians are living in Russia, dear friend. This band is from Petrodavosk. They sing in Finnish as it is their culture.

[Spyflugan91]

@Svansakuten Karelian!

[Svansakuten]

@sulray

If you look at the map it must be the Irish of the North...

[kmbalint]

great music! A greeting from a relative, from Hungary, EU :)

[KostromaGonzaja]

Mahtava biisi ja varsinkin Arto Rinteen tulkitsemana :-)

[mTartuffe]

Saw these guys live in the northwest of North America. Good Humor!

[Missouramule]

You're always such a wonderful resource, Kantelar; as always, thanks.
