Strand...Rand by Sofia Joons, Emma Härdelin, Meelika Hainsoo, Toivo Sõmer, Janne Strömstedt

I came from Sweden to Estonia to get to know Estonia, the land of my forefathers and -mothers. I suppose I was looking for That Something Special, and I have found it.

The way folk chorales were once sang on the west coast of Estonia, the area of Estonian Swedish culture, has become meaningful to me. The songs both overcome and contain the borders between Sweden and Estonia, home and church, heaven and earth.

Two folk singers, Emma Härdelin from Sweden and Meelika Hainsoo from Estonia, are very dear to me, and so are the sounds of Toivo Sõmer's zither and Janne Strömstedt's harmonium. We made "Strand...Rand" together.
