Finnish traditional music

I have a lecturer whose name is "finnish traditional music" and we learn about the traditional instruments and culture music in Finland. At the beginnig it was a little bit boring but after ons course i realy enjoyed it!

We learn a lot of thing....For example, did you know that it exists since centuries, an indigenous people in the top of the Scandinave countries? The name of this people is SAMI. And did you know the famous and historic anthem in Finland??......It's The Kalevala!! Well, things like that are important to know more about the country where you live (well, for me it's important!)

So in the photo, i'm playing the Kantele (an historic finnish instrument)
The national epic contains two poems relating the origin of the kantele. Väinämöinen, the wizard-hero, created the kantele and also excelled in performing on the instrument. Väinämöinen made his first kantele out of fish bones, specifically the jawbone of a pike; his second kantele was made of birch wood. The strings were of animal tail hairs or the hair of young maidens. Everyone tried to play the first kantele, but only its creator could play it so that all creation was enchanted...
