Tulli Lum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tulli Lum (Livonian for 'hot snow')is an Estonian/Livonian folk music band that was formed in 1999. They are notible for the fact that their vocalist, Julgi Stalte, is one of only approximately 10 native speakers of the nearly extinct Livonian language alive today.
The band was formed in 1999, when the Estonian ensemble found Julgi Stalte, originally from Riga, Latvia while she was studying music in Estonia.
Tha basis of much of the group's works are the books of the Estonian folklorist Oskar Loorits, while musically they are considered a fusion between authentic Livonian folk music and Jazz.
