Eesti Keeled was formed in 1999 when Ain Agan brought together a distinctive string quartet consisting of two Estonian zithers (kannel) and two guitars, where folk music and jazz, oral tradition and original compositions, tradition and innovation meet. The combination of zithers and guitars proved to be new and distinctive, and the quartet adopted the name Eesti Keeled (meaning: Estonian language/strings). Over the years the ensemble has performed actively in Estonia and abroad and received the Estonian Music Award for the albums Sabaga täht and Kella tiksumist….

The ensemble, together with new vocal soloists Mari Jürjens and Vaiko Eplik, recorded the album Pildid (“Pictures”) in 2024, which was nominated for the Estonian Music Awards. The album includes both new songs and Estonian zither-string–centred interpretations of earlier works by the members of the ensemble.

After a break of several years, Eesti Keeled regained new momentum in the spring of 2022.
