about

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.

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.
