Next door neighbor stopped by two evenings ago with an old CD she found during a weekend clean. For years while living in her former locale, she was part of a female folk group who sang foreign songs in native languages. The leader chose primarily Polish, but also one from the band Värttinä—in particular, the second track on their Ilmatar (2000) album. While we listened, some of it came back and she sang along.
The Kalevala asteroids project posted here were by two Finnish astronomers. A German astronomer preceded them by naming discovery 385 for the virgin spirit of air in The Kalevala.
