(Mint \/ New)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat do an ex-prison warden, a microbiologist, a builder and a retired diplomat have in common?  Well, for one thing, they sing in a Sydney-based vocal group called KIRI-UU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how the press release first introduces this record, which is quite unlike anything else.  KIRI-UU is a choral-singing choir established in Australia by the children of Estonian refugees perpetuating the Finno-Urgic language and tradition.  Folk song often carries messages, stories, fables and perspectives of the times, it’s the perfect conduit for passing on tradition and keeping the spirit alive.  It’s quite touching that many of the choir members may have never stepped foot in their Estonian ancestral homeland some 8,000 miles away, but singing like this, with their fellow ex-pats, they can feel their roots take hold.  Based around the contemporary arrangements of natural treasure Veljo Tormis, bandleader Olev Muska gave the recordings an electronic facelift, adding a weird and unusually glassy edge to these ancient choir pieces, adding another stage of evolution and tangential, diasporic variation to this rune singing tradition.  Genuinely nothing like this one anywhere.  (Mint \/ New - ex-deadstock)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1        Creak-Whoosh = Kiri-Uu\u003cbr\u003e2        A Dance Song = Röntyskälaulu\u003cbr\u003e3        The Black Loorgin = An Lurgainn Dubh\u003cbr\u003e4        Eee = Iii\u003cbr\u003e5        A Village Party Song = Chastushka\u003cbr\u003e6        Slave Wages = Orja Palk\u003cbr\u003e7        Come To The Midsummer Bonfire = Tulge Jaanitulele\u003cbr\u003e8        Sleeps The Noon In The Deep Blue Sky = Ossian's Daydream\u003cbr\u003e9        A Roundelay = Piirileikkilaulu\u003cbr\u003e10        Am Dam Doribhi\u003cbr\u003e11        The Hopping Dance = Hüppetants\u003cbr\u003e12        I Sang, My Heart Sank = Suu Lauloi, Süän Murehti\u003cbr\u003e13        Harp = An Clasair\u003cbr\u003e14        The Wild Swan = Eala Foleón\u003cbr\u003e15        The Power Of Song + Going West = Laulu Võim + Aignish\u003cbr\u003e16        Lay Me To Sleep = Mairead Og\u003cbr\u003e17        Harvesting Song = Lõikuse Laul\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Night Flight Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57141271134590,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/7755\/6791\/files\/IMG_0032_6fa25a5b-df71-4ed2-86cb-f479a1dfeaa5.jpg?v=1760621442","url":"https:\/\/allnightflightrecords.com\/products\/kiri-uu-shoti-ugri-1","provider":"All Night Flight Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
