Kaipaava: Rajaton A Cappella Multitrack

Описание: We are singing Kaipaava (The Longing One), by Essi Wuorela and Jussi Chydenius as performed by Rajaton and recorded on their 2001 album Boundless. It is a Finnish folk song, with text taken from the Kanteletar. We sang the 6 parts a cappella (with no instruments), and recorded the videos. Sorry if our Finnish isn't great - we don't speak it. (this version is a re-upload: I fixed the low volume problem on the original video). Also, I think the audio's a bit late compared to the video - I'll try to improve that for future videos!

Some viewers are concerned that I do not have permission to perform this song. In fact I bought the score legally from the original publisher. To verify my claim: http://www.sulasol.fi/en/sheet/mixed/...
