| Description: | The Setu people are descendants of the Balto- Finnish tribes who migrated to the southeastern tip of Estonia. They have preserved their colorful lifestyles, costumes, language and folklore through songs passed down from generation to generation. Many Setu songs remember epic ballads about hard work, customs, beliefs and the traditions of their ancestors. |
