ühisetele

Uhissid is a genre of Estonian music characterized by a strong emphasis on rhythm and percussion. The name "ühisetele" is often used to describe this specific style of music, although it can also be referred to as "ühispere" or simply "ühismaa". The genre emerged in the 1990s and gained popularity in Estonia, particularly among the youth.

Musicologically, uhissid is a fusion of various styles, including hip hop, electronic dance music, and traditional Estonian folk music. The sound is often dominated by strong beats, simple melodies, and repetitive rhythms, which are sequences of chords and vocals. Uhissid performers often rely heavily on sampling and synthesizers, which have become integral components of the genre's signature sound.

Lyrically, uhissid often focuses on everyday life, relationships, and social issues. The genre's songwriters frequently address topics such as love, conflicts, and the search for identity. The language used in uhissid is predominantly Estonian, which has contributed to the genre's growth as a distinct cultural expression.

Over the years, uhissid has evolved and branched out into various sub-genres, such as folktronica and nu uhissid, which incorporate elements of traditional Estonian folk music and modern electronic production techniques. Today, uhissid remains a vibrant and influential part of Estonian music culture, with a dedicated fan base and a reputation for innovative sound design. While its appeal may be largely limited to Estonia and its surrounding regions, uhissid has undoubtedly left a lasting mark on the country's music scene.
