Kannel is the Estonian zither. Andres 20:05, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Should we mention Metsatöll somewhere? I can't quite figure out where to mention them, though. Aarnepolkusin 20:17, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

Without some clue as to what Metsatöll is/are/were/was, I can't suggest a place to mention her/him/it/them, but you can always make a new subheading as needed. Even if the section isn't complete, someone will fill it in and/or otherwise reorganize as needed as the article grows. Tuf-Kat 21:36, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
They're just this folk metal band: see here [1]. The article as of now isn't very extensive so I'm not sure if they're the first to mention. I know next to nothing about Estonian music and I don't know if adding them would make any sense (you can tell I'm a newbie...). They do have a guy playing torupill and kannel and such, so... I'll try to figure something out. Aarnepolkusin 00:30, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
As long as they're notable enough to deserve a mention in a more complete article, there's nothing wrong with adding them here now, I think. It would be best if it was part of a whole section about Estonian folk-rock, assuming there is something more to say about the field, but maybe that one sentence will inspire someone to write more and expand on it. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia, let me know if you have any other questions. Tuf-Kat 03:11, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
Alright... went and did a slight reorganization too. I'll leave it for now. And thanks. Aarnepolkusin 06:58, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)

This article is in a very pure condition.--Termer 04:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Where in heck is Estonian pop and rock music in this article? Guest 14:24, 2008 Aug 24 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.219.88.59 (talk)

I actually have to agree, this page contains mostly classical music of estonia. Sort of reminds me of a highschool music history book, where nothing is mentioned about other musical styles. Anyone with more knowledge of Estonian pop-music should try to improve this article. Numerous more than important figures and facts like Georg Ots, Miliza Korjus and the Singing revolution are too important not to be included. H2ppyme (talk) 20:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't be a reference to Viljandi Folk Festival? Zkvrev (talk) 11:25, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
