“sirakas” means a small electric shock, a zap in Estonian. “Vaskjala Sirakas” is a late-summer mini-festival organized in cooperation between the Estonian Electronic Music Society (EES) and Rae Cultural Centre, featuring electronic concert music artists from diverse backgrounds and with varied aesthetics.
Sirakas usually takes place on the last weekend of August at the Vaskjala (Copper Leg) Art Residency (the former Rae school building, Ussiaugu tee 20, Vaskjala, Estonia).
