Ei ole üksi ükski maa explained

Ei ole üksi ükski maa ('No Land Is Alone') is an Estonian patriotic song, which was created in 1987 by Alo Mattiisen. The lyrics were created by Jüri Leesment. The song was created in order to support movement against phoshorite mining in Virumaa (so called Phosphorite War).[1] [2]

The song is repeatedly represented in major music festivals in Estonia, e.g. in 2002 in IX Youth Singing Festival.[3]

Tujurikkuja version

Source:

At the end of 2015, a younger generation of singers performed a remake in the satirical program Tujurikkuja in the manner of Mattiisen, which poked fun about the intolerance towards refugees, gays, Black people, muslims, Russians and simply other Estonians in an ironic fashion. The text written by Märt Avandi, Ott Sepp and Õ-Fraktsioon also alluded to other political issues, such as the Syrian civil war.[4]
