please tell me what is that gitar he is playing at the start i thought it was a slide gitar but it isn't....thanks daff275

[varttinawww]

@daff275 it's kantele, a Finnish traditional instrument

[SolntsaSvet]

Russian music and Finnish music have a lot in common. Russians themselves (especially from the NW) have a lot in common with the Finns.

In that corner of Europe we are all brother nordo-finno-balto-slavic barbaric peoples :P

Beside the marvellous hairdo and the fairylike blue, the song is soothing and lovely even though I don't understand a word, I love it, save for the lyrics I have a friend that would most probably translate the song for me.. Congratulation you've gifted us with another amazing song

[JilutheFang]

I know not a more relaxing song. :)

Did you know that "travuska" is Russian for "(the) grass"?

I keep coming back to hear this...would be easier to favorite it but it gives me a chance to see what my YT friend is doing...:-)

@varttinawww

Would this happen to be a 15-string kantele?

[laelamarie1]

I'm fairly new to this group. this is the most subdued perfomance I have seen from them...it's quite beautiful. Music - such a wonderful medium - don't need to understand a word of this to know ...god I love the Finnish!!!!!
