Here is the home of the traveling singer, a runic songs center where this important cultural tradition is preserved and distributed. the subjects of the national anthems are always inspired by events and customs of the different families and deal with many of the themes on which the most famous national work, the Kalevala, is inspired. On the Parppeinvaara hill stands one of the most interesting and typical villages of Karelia. Here are several traveling singers who accompany themselves with the traditional instrument, to find the kantele with the typical melodies for the area.
