Marju Länik

Greater recognition came at the end of the decade in participating at the Eesti Televisioon programme "Kaks Takti Ette" and being in the music film "Suveviisid Võrtsjärvel".

In 1985, she participated in a cultural program held at Gorky Park with ensemble Mahavok in Moscow at the World Festival of Youth and Students.

[1] After the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, she and Mahavok visited closed areas in Ukraine, where several thousands of participants, including Estonian workers, were given a series of very emotional concerts.

[5] Much of Länik's work consists of original pieces, written in particular by Mikk Targo [et], Heini Vaikmaa, Lauri Laubre and Ivar Männik.

Her most famous hits are "Ikka jälle", "Karikakar", "Ma olen ju naine", "Head uut aastat", "Suvekuninganna", "Päikesemaa", "Kui sul on raske", "Varjude mäng", "Naerdes ja naeratades", with part of them also sung in Russian.
