A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Folk-Rockin' Estonia: Paabel and "Meeste Laul"
The band Paabel brings us the random tune for today, called Meeste Laul. From Estonia, Paabel infuses jazz, pop and other modern musical sensibilities with traditional Estonian folk songs. In fact, the sextet is made up of five musicians who worked mostly in jazz, and one who worked mostly in folk. Brought together in 2007 for a competition in folk music reinterpretation, they have won since many music awards in Estonia and have performed in Finland, Lithuania, Hungary and the United States. Meeste Laul is from their 2012 album Üle Järve.
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
