Eva Väljaots is an Estonian folk musician, who plays various types of traditional kannel – an ancient string instrument widespread in Finno-Ugric cultures. Modern meets archaic in her music of a distinctive style rich with improvisation. It is inspired by the present moment as well as her own heritage, age-old tales, and Finno-Ugric musical tradition. She performs her self-penned music, widening the playing techniques and bringing out the variegated timbre of these instruments. Each kannel opens up a unique world in her picturesque soundscapes.

In 2022 Eva Väljaots released her debut album Hundinuiaõis * Bulrush Bloom and same year she was nominated for the best solo artist at the Estonian folk music awards Etnokulp.
