Hyvin kaunis =)

[LucienDragon]

My grandmother is from Karelia, and she told me about her memories. She and her family were driven away from their house by the russian troops. A couple of years ago she went back there and it was a sad sight for her. Her old house was still there but some russians had taken it, and lived in it. Some other buildings had been burned down to the ground. She told me it made her really sad. I can imagine the feeling, but somehow its good that it happened.. If it didn't i wouldn't exist...

"Osasit omenan tehdä, taisit aineet kasvatella. Et osannut istutella, panit puille pyöriville." :) Tässä on paljon erikoista laulua, ilmeisesti kuitenkin suomea tarkoitus laulaa vai onks toi jotain karjalansuomea jolla on eri merkityksiä sanoilla ku suomenkielessä? Kiitos tästä!

[ruthra1972]

Na Podlasiu są jeszcze Tacy ludzie! odnajdzie ich ... naprawdę warto... Polecam

[Max0Inq]

@ruthra1972 Mógłbyś to jakoś rozwinąć?

[florafart]

Very nice. I do not understand the words, but the music is a delight!!

[gladalive]

kloiten, try to foster love instead of hate and sobriety over drunkeness as well as kindness instead of cruelty to helpless little animals. Oh, and Karelia belongs to Suomi.

[kloiten]

@gladalive It's not up to me or you to decide who it "belongs" to, because it's a homeland of a people, not a bunch of furniture. I personally don't care where in which borders Karelia happens to lie, as long as the culture still lives.

I will also try to restrain myself from slapping puppies.

[vulvatronic]

@gladalive "Karelia belongs to Suomi." ?? Kyllä se suurin osa ns. Karjalaa kuuluu ns. Venäjälle. LÄntinen nurkkaus jäi Suomelle. <1/10 jos inkerinmaa lasketaan mukaan. kts: /wiki/Karelia

[SugarCookied]

When was this song written?

[SuPeRocKy89]

Kiitos!!!

[yarborg1]

karelia back to finland now

[gladalive]

Thank you for posting this video.

shailesh2k1in : do you ask out of ignorance? or are you trying to stir up old hatreds?

The Finns have suffered greatly at the hands of the opressive russians. Check the history!

[jaskamakkara]

@gladalive It's okay to ask.

[kloiten]

@gladalive

I hate when anyone applies words like "oppressive" and such to my native culture. Thanks a lot, person-who-seemingly-doesn't-w­ant-to-stir-up-old-hatred. I am a great patron of Finnish, Sámi, and other Uralic cultures, but people like you make me want to get drunk and slap a puppy.

[shailesh2k1in]

Very nice.

Is there a difference between russian and finnish folk?

[m4rkm4n]

@shailesh2k1in

In the same manner you could ask if there's a difference between jews and muslims. It's pure hate.

[sirwootalot]

@shailesh2k1in

Culturally, it's a huge difference; Russians come out of the slavic (and ultimately byzantine/greek) socioreligious continuum, with heavy influence from various pagan faiths native to modern-day Poland, Ukraine, and the Baltic states. Finns on the other hand are much more deeply rooted in the area, as is their language, which has no ties whatsoever to any other European languages other than Estonian and (very distantly) Hungarian; and culturally, they are mainly Scandinavian.

[Ammyai]

@sirwootalot Vikings?

[sirwootalot]

@Ammyai

Finns? not at all. Vikings, linguistically and culturally, are the progenitors of North Germanic peoples (Scandinavians, Icelandic, faroese, and to a small extent scottish and norman) and a seperate branch, the Rus, were absorbed into slavic/byzantine culture and are among the progenitors of modern-day Russians and Ukranians. Finns descended from arctic tribes similar to the Mari and Laplanders.

[Ammyai]

@sirwootalot Thank you for you good information!

" Finns descended from arctic tribes similar to the Mari and Laplanders."

I think the Sami people also are a very close relative to the Finns.

[MembThePenguinII]

@Ammyai

Genetically not.

[MembThePenguinII]

@Ammyai

For sure Sami are closer to Finns than other Europeans but they're still genetically far away from Finns.

[Svansakuten]

@MembThePenguinII

We are having the same genetic background as all in Scandinavia.

[timomastosalo]

@sirwootalot If you enclude Scottish, Norman and Rus cultures - then Finns would be there as well. Genetically it's about 3/4 that we finns have germanic inheritance nowadays. Culturally agriculture was introduced by germanic people. The week was introduced by the germanic farmers, our weekdays are germanic (6 1/2 / 7, they need that kind of calendar. Even our language has a lot of germanic influence, vocabulary especially, though the words have changed heavily when assimilating (ranta<strand)

[Svansakuten]

@timomastosalo

Clever boy, keep up with the good work!

[timomastosalo]

@sirwootalot But the influence came strongly already from the forefathers of Vikings, before somebody decided to start to call them Vikings. Germans were probably part of the same culture with the Scandinavians, when the contacts started. There's evidence about contacts with a protogermanic culture that existed before the germanic tribes could be separated from the balts.

So Finns have been migling with neighbours all through their history, culturally, and genetically. No matter who was it

[timomastosalo]

@timomastosalo In ancient times people didn't have that kind of ethnic awareness that grew in the 19th century. Folks just noticed that the neighbours spoke differently, or more or less similarily than themselves. Of course they felt some degree of 'sameness' when they could understood each other, at least roughly. But when marrying their offspring people where just happy to get a spouse to them, if it was difficult. So contacts with neighbours was only natural, + necessary at times

[simon4tw]

@timomastosalo In ancient times you only had contact with your closest neighbors, if you had contact with anyone or anything at all outside of your own group. An average Arab could NEVER have been integrated in, say, in a Karelian community unless he was born there. Much like today.

[timomastosalo]

@simon4tw The whole Baltic-Finnic culture was born by a mixture of Germanic people with the Finnic people by the waterways of the Baltic coast, possibly in the Neva and even Ladoga region. The lanuage which we Finns nowadays speak shows great soumd changes in about 2000 BCA/BC or a bit earlier. So sailing the Baltic sea + the rivers close to it brought these quick contacts with an alien culture which were indeed usually rare. But Finns by the Baltic sea got Baltic & Germanic influence a lot

[Svansakuten]

@timomastosalo

There were no countries in the stone age and earlier. We didn't have borders at all. The Viking time is what you need to know about, Simon. The Baltic was our way to East.

[timomastosalo]

@Svansakuten Did you want to answer to Simon4tw?

[jysluggo]

Where can I buy their music, other than ebay? Mistä voin ostaa heidän musiikiaan, muut kuin ebay?

[evbek1]

My mother is from karelia and because of her I am now a Finish citizen as well as a U.S. citizen.

[jumalas]

@evbek1  "finish" ? you mean Finnish ! get it straight ! just kidding, congratulations!

me too.

[gleb202]

Очень красивая музыка!

[musicallyspeakings88]

The one named Sasha died a week ago I heard. I think he had a heart attack.

[NiNtIEs4EvEr]

This music is contemplative and divine.....

makes you think of sages and amulets and curses and princesses

and life and its connection to the cosmos...

oh man!!!

wow!!!

[iammoonlight1130]

@NiNtIEs4EvEr It's a lament song of a young girl. "...Dear mother, even you don't know how hard my life is..." Melody is Karelian, lyrics are from Ingria. Everything but the first two words is straight off the cd cover.

[Svensjair]

AMAZING. simply AMAZING.
