Every 5 years almost 100 000 Estonians gather to sing in a giant choir. Find out about the tradition and how you can be part of the magic.

+Vermon Seidel you speak complete crap - the few whites who were living in africa have been driven out of africa - by black africans! you can drive a car that was made in a different country - doesnt change your culture or your racial identity - introducing millions of people from other races into europe will slowly but surely cause the disappearance of white people and their cultures - everything about their identity will change - even their skin colour and dna once the race mixing takes off in earnest. Essentially you are preaching white genocide under the guise of international brotherhood. if l endorse policies that will cause your black race to disappear you will scream like a wounded pig! when white people complain about the multiculture thats being forced down their throats by the ruling elite and you - we are called racist! go to hell - you are the real racists!

I have shared it too. I have met an Estonian woman who has shown me the 'Estonian soul'. Behind the 'cheesy' in this film which may not be to everyone's taste, there's a message here for the whole world I feel. But people have to remember that MAGIC is not always 'the art or practice of producing illusions etc. by sleight of hand'. Magic is also about 'the secret forces of nature' and 'any mysterious power or phenomenon that defies (scientific) analysis or explanation' (Longmans Modern English Dictionary)! This is the Magic the film is talking about, and the message for me is that we musn't, we CAN'T, wait for the scientists to catch up before we start paying attention and responding to this absolutely vital message that Nature is trying to tell us.

To me this "magic" is the amazing grace and protection of God over Estonia. God has a special plan with this country and He longs for the people to turn to Him. His hand over this land is so evident. If you only knew about the awakening that took place in Estonia some years before the re-independence, the prophesies given to this nation etc. God is real and God cares not only about individuals but also entire nations. We must humble ourselves and seek Him with all our hearts. He has so much more in store!

@@MrDoggen02 They are pissed off , because Estonia and Finland always protects Western world from Communist invasion, and they have never managed to conquer via military campaign. I recommend checking out documentary about Battle of Bluehills.... (or wiki -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tannenberg_Line ) every single estonian-russian i know literally claims event like that never happened. Clearly russians are not being teached that in school. Embarrasment runs deep... It's the second time they failed, during Indepence war, they also got rekt hard at Narva border.(while bolshevik delegates were making deals for independence... estonians were crushing 2 entire russian armies with limited forces... legends say, that the corpses were so many, that they formed almost like mountains...) Estonia is somewhat nicely protected geographically... well it was in the past... since you can't just go thru Lakes with tanks you know.. So Narva is kind of like tunnel... like in that movie "300" with spartans, where you can bottleneck the enemy. Well what's the take away? I guess it's simple... don't fuck with estonians. They are few,but if you endanger their existence, they go berserk.

Estonians reveal closest similarities to the nearest neighbouring populations, regardless of their language group.

I have a question. In this video you can see a lot of blonde Estonians. But Estonians speak a Finno-Ugric language. Did Scandinavians once settle in what is now Estonia? Or were there Germanic tribes there? Because many Estonians in this video don't really look Finno-Ugric. Especially with the Hungarians and Finns, you can see from the slightly Asian facial features that they have Finno-Ugric ancestry. Just for example in minute 1:50; 3:35; the boy at 4:26 or the two blonde guys at 4:30. They could also be Swedes, Germans or Englishmen, from the appearance.
