Anne Vabarna (1877-1964) is considered to be the greatest Setu Singer and regarded one of the greatest and most important singers of Finno-Ugric peoples. In her life time over 140,000 verses were recorded from the singer. She is mainly known for her composition of the Setu national epic 'Peko', depicting the tale of the Setonian hero who provides freedom for the Setu people. Her repertoire also includes songs of traditional Setu lyric and lyric-epic types, children's songs, prayers, fifty two bridal laments, improvisations (dedicated to collectors of folklore, statesmen, doctors, guests-all in all over 20,000 verses), epic compositions and folk tales.
