Artists and programme

Untsakad were born in the Tsardom of Russia, in a poor Estonian fisherman’s family – their father was an advocate, their mother a miner. They spent their childhood in great poverty – they lacked everything , even songs. The boys were forced to sing runo songs and play with flowers until the crack of dawn when their grandpa gently cradled them to sleep. In the turn of the 19th and 20th century, they discovered a big wonder of technology – the gramophone! Their repertoire which consisted of old folk songs, was now enriched by new Modern Schlager music. In 21st century they perfected their gramophone with a new device to play CD-s and started enjoying the oeuvre of an orchestra called The Pogues.
