etiikoissa

Etiikoissa refers to a genre of traditional Finnish music and dance. It is a style of folk music that originated in the province of Savo in eastern Finland. The term "etiikoissa" literally means "in the wilderness" or "in the thicket" in Finnish, and it is believed to have originated from the fact that the music and dance were typically performed by peasants and farmers in rural areas, often in the wilderness.

Etikoissa music is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the hursepilli, a type of fiddle, and the kantele, a type of zither. The music is often performed in a lively and energetic style, with a strong emphasis on rhythm and percussion. The dance component of etiikoissa is also an integral part of the tradition, with traditional steps and movements that are passed down through generations.

The etiikoissa tradition is closely tied to the cultural heritage of the Savo region, and it has played an important role in the region's identity and community. The music and dance are often performed at traditional Finnish festivals and events, and it is also an important part of the region's folklore and cultural heritage. Today, etiikoissa is still performed and celebrated throughout Finland, and it continues to be an important part of the country's cultural and musical traditions.
