Peko

Presented with one interval.
Running Time:

2:45

Peko - is he a king or a Seto god? That is the usual question about this name.
Maybe he is just a Seto man on his own land - somewhere between east and west holding on to his own.
This is an ancient epic rock based on Setos' history and Seto lore.
Does Peko take place in ancient times or here and now?
Is it the world or man that will change?
How to make it rain in Russia?
Should one light a candle in the church or put some of his crop on a stone?
Which best man is tougher - Kolla or Essu?
Who to take, who to let go?
Laugh till you drop and shed blood till the last drip?
