This lyrical song of Suksunsky Mari was recorded by Oleg Geramisov in the village of  Tebenyaki (Suliy in Mari) in 1971, аs performed by Anna Demidova (born in 1908).
The number of steps I scaled was seven. When I counted, they proved to be eight. I’d like to be born and grow  up again, I’d like to be seventeen years old again. My dear relatives, come to visit me, I have nothing special to offer you, but I have some bread. My friend, let us climb a hill, take your mandolin, we will cry, join hands and go apart.

The duo Anna and Kristi combines ancient Eastern Mari songs with experimental Estonian kannel music. The majority of Finno-Ugric people play some sort of psaltery; the Mari psaltery is known as the küsle. The Estonian kannel is a chromatic instrument that is similar to it; it spans a bridge between the past and the present and with the help of Eastern Mari songs gives rise to a beautiful soundscape. The Mari iyagovyž (a type of fiddle), flute, drums, and bagpipes are also played on the disk, played by the multi-instrumentalist Ivan Kamenshchikov. Inga Pogonina plays the Eastern Mari songs on a classical iyagovyž. Ancient melodies, classical instruments, and captivating interpretations give the songs a completely new nature. The Udmurt accordionist Pavel Kutergin also gives the music a distinct colouring, adding the style of a second Finno-Ugric nation. Together these artists unite the ancient musical customs of three Finno-Ugric nations – Mari, Estonians, Udmurts – to create something entirely new.
