Väinämöinen - A Lesser Known Deity

Check out the beard on Väinämöinen (the sword-wielding fellow in the bow of the boat). I became aware of this bearded god through the Free Music Archive. One of the curators, ISSUE Project Room, featured a remix contest based around a 30 second a capella ode to Väinämöinen from the Finnish group Kiila.

Check this out for some remix contest entries hosted by the FMA.
