koosviibimine

Koosviibimine refers to a musical activity that originated in Estonia in the early 20th century. In English, it can be translated to "group improvisation" or "improvisation in a group." Koosviibimine is an essential part of Estonian traditional music, where a group of musicians assemble in a circle, each taking turns to improvise on their respective instruments.

The activity typically involves a combination of vocal and instrumental improvisations. Participants, who often come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, are encouraged to use their creativity, communal energy, and social interactions. Koosviibimine is inherently open to collaboration and active listening, resulting in unique, dynamic dynamic interactions between the musicians.

Koosviibimine usually occurs without prior planning or specific thematic connections, reflecting the nature of the traditional Estonian music. Performances may be formal or informal, ranging from weddings and folk dance competitions to street concerts and festivals. Contributors from Koosviibimine could include any valid linguistic or dance tradition, including percussionists, instrumentalists, and especially vocalists called solos or main singers in various context. The result is an ongoing kaleidoscope of musical talents brought together through encounter and interact, eventually lost in communal songsoaked occurrences which doesn't comprise every moment of musician experience.

Throughout Eastern Europe, Koosviibimine continues to be observed with little organized assistance or structure and pervasively through mutuality between traditional environmentally foreign oriented people.
