Duo Ruut

Duo Ruut are an Estonian, contemporary-folk duo formed in 2015 by schoolmates and friends, musicians and songwriters, Ann-Lisett Rebane and Katariina Kivi. While contemporary, their songwriting is inspired by Estonian traditions amongst those of other cultures. They perform their songs by both simultaneously playing a single kannel between them, plucked as traditionally intended, bowed, and also as a percussive instrument, all while singing.
