Release Notes:

The lyrics are not English. A special Ethnic ATM Release, remarkable music.

"Over the years we have encountered the runosong through old wax recordings and

books, and with that knowledge we have freely interpreted it on our own terms.

Now we wanted to move beyond this, into the core and the source of the tradition.

Thanks to newly opened borders, great hospitality and a great help from organisations

and individuals, it was possible for us to meet with the remnant of the people who

have preserved this ancient art through the centuries.

We came home filled with strong pictures and feelings about life in general and

about Karelia in particular, we hope that this Finnish minority will survive

theis difficult situation, and carry on the traditions for future generations."

HEDNINGARNA

Karelia is a general designation for the area on each side of the common border

between Finland and Russia. The western part of Karelia still belongs to Finland,

but during the war in 1945 Finland lost a great part of it, the so called Ladoga

Karelia and the Karelian isthmus. More than 400,000 inhabitants lost their homes

and were evacuated as refugees to other parts of Finland. The lost parts were

incorporated into the Russian Karelia, which by 1920 had already become one of

the republics in the Soviet Union.

Nowadays only 10% of the ethnic Karelian population remains in Russian Karelia.

The Karelians are one of the seven Finnish Baltic Sea people. The others are

Finns, the Estonians, the Votes, the Ingermanlands, the Veps and the Lifelanders.

The Finnish, Karelian and Ingermanlandic languages are so closely related that

they can be considered dialects of the same language.

The archaic culture of the runosong was kept alive for hundreds of years where

people spoke the Baltic Sea Finnish languages. But in the Seventeenth Century

the old song tradition started to change towards the Western European tradition

of rhyming couplets. The old tradition of runosong was best preserved in Karelia

as well as in Russian Karelia. It was from this area Elias L÷nnrot gathered the

best songs to create the epic "Kalevala" in 1835, which later became the national

epic of Finland. The influence of the Kalevala had great signification for

building an identity for the Finnish people over the last century. Karelia

became a critical factor in this process.
