About Ruja
Ruja was one of the foremost Estonian rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s. The name of the band comes from a neologism "ruja", for science fiction, though there are people who believe that "ruja" is actually made up of the first letters of the band's important members. The band released their first and self-titled album in 1979. Many of the original melodies of Ruja were composed by Rein Rannap.
