Runo Song
Runo Song is a traditional form of Finnish folk music that often features simple melodies and repetitive structures. These songs are typically sung in the Finnish language and are characterized by their connection to nature, daily life, and folklore. Runo songs are often performed in a call-and-response style, making them accessible for communal singing.
The origins of Runo songs can be traced back to the Kalevala, a 19th-century epic poem that compiled ancient Finnish oral traditions. These songs played a significant role in preserving Finnish culture and history, as they were passed down through generations. Today, Runo songs continue to be celebrated in various cultural events and festivals.
