Treasures of Ukrainian Music. Traditional Folk Songs of the Right-bank of Kyiv Region
For about 400 years, the Ukrainian people were in Russian slavery. The Russian empire and then the Soviet Union did everything to wipe out the original Ukrainian culture and assimilate it and the Ukrainian people among the numerous nationalities belonging to the empire. But it is impossible to destroy the distinctive culture of a freedom-loving people. From generation to generation, Ukrainian people have kept the treasures of their distinctive culture and carried them to the present time. This CD is the endeavor to document the truly tradition of antiquity that has been vanishing for many centuries, to enrich folk music chronicle and to reserve the document of the epoch at the turn of millenniums. Unique authentic field recordings made at the end of the last century during folklore research expeditions over right-bank of Kiev region of Ukraine. ***** TRACK LIST. 1.
