Lummo Kati Leelopark brings to the audiences a journey through the songs of the three days of a Seto wedding. The selection of Seto wedding songs is very rich, most of them in a unique half-tone and tone-and-a-half scale, which leads the listener into a special, forgotten musical world.
Recording of Lummo Kati Leelopark by Vincent Moon, made during the XXXI Viljandi Folk Music Festival in Estonia.
