SUMMARY:Estonia's XXVIII Song and XXI Dance Celebration “Iseoma” ("Kinship")
DESCRIPTION:Rewatch the Estonian Song and Dance Festival performances here \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMe loome ise oma elu ja õnne.Me räägime ise oma keelt.Me laulame ise oma häälega omi laule.Me pühitseme iseoma laulupidu.Et kasvada oma rahvaga.Et armastada iseoma Eestit. \n\n\n\nTere tulemast XXVIII laulupeole “Iseoma”!Laulupeo kunstiline juht Heli Jürgenson \n\n\n\nMeie kandi inimesed –sõtsed\, kõugud\, sugulasedotsustasid kokku saada\,kokku tuua mugulased.\n\n\n\nMeie juures tuleb tänavu suur pidu\, millest ei tohi ilmaski ilma jääda. Armastust ja musta leiba peab jaguma igaühele\, kes meie trallamil tallab. Nii et pakkige pambud ja pasunad\, kammid ja kostid\, lootused ja luhtaminekud ning karake kõige täiega Keskpõrandale kokku. \n\n\n\nNii on sõnastanud tantsupeo dramaturg Laura Võigemast kutses XXI tantsupeole \n\n\n\nTantsupidu räägib sel korral meie iseoma lugu\, räägib inimeseks olemisest\, räägib eestlastest ja sellest\, mis on meile oma ja oluline. Jah\, meid on küll vähe\, meie maa on väike\, aga teisalt oleme kõik erinevad\, nii nagu on erinevad ka meie tavad\, kombed\, tantsud\, laulud\, pillilood ja murdekeel. Ja erinevad on ka kirevad isiksused meie kõigi suguvõsades. Me peame kokku hoidma. Igaüht oma iseärasustes hindama ja austama\, kõigist hoolima\, neid armastama\, ning\, kui vaja – neile andestama. Vaid nõnda püsime elus\, püsime oma vaba riigina ja ainult nõnda saavad elada meie kultuur\, tavad ja kombed.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe XXVIII Song and XXI Dance Celebration “Iseoma” (“Kinship”)\n\n\n\nThe treasured festival will take place from July 3rd to 6th\, 2025. This acclaimed national event features over 40\,000 choir singers\, orchestral musicians\, folk dancers\, and folk musicians. Estonian-American choirs and dance groups are among them!
