Most people don't think about singing when they think about revolutions. But song was the weapon of choice when, between 1986 and 1991, Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in public to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to rally for independence.

Learn How Estonia's Non-Violent Singing Revolution defeated a very violent occupation. http://singingrevolution.com

  • Estonia debería ser un ejemplo para TODOS los países del mundo, que creen que mediante la guerra todo se resolverá; aprendan de Estonia, que se liberó de Los Nazis cantando! El canto es vida, y la música es una ventana a nuestros sueños más profundos.
