Duo Ruut
“…twosome Duo Ruut, who double up on a single zither – it’s used as a drumkit as well as a stringed instrument – to create a band-sized sound with high-keening, folk-style harmony singing, to stirring effect.”
Ian Harrison, MOJO
The sound of Duo Ruut consists of a single Estonian zither and two distinct voices. Inspired by the local musical heritage, they draw influence from the beliefs of different cultures which they incorporate into their emotive songwriting with a contemporary character. Their music is minimalist at its core, but packed with a plethora of imaginative ideas. In just a short period, Duo Ruut has toured around the world, playing more than 20 countries, and their music has been presented by international media such as KEXP, MOJO, BBC, Songlines and more.
