Now you see the first disc released in Ukraine that presents the folk tradition of Turkic-speaking Greeks of Azov region – and this is one of the oldest nations that reside on the territory of Ukraine. The title "Bir Taifa" is translated as "One Family" - so, its symbolicalness is quite evident. It is not the only Ukrainian Greek ensemble, of course. Now you can also find the disc of "Sartanski Samotsvety" with us. But, as it is well known, even twins differ, to say nothing about ensembles. Especially if we compare this music with the sounding of Ukrainian folk ensembles, which are so habitual for us. The difference seems to be striking – still, at first sight. If you listen attentively, you will be struck not with the difference, but on the contrary – with the congeniality of sounding. Still, for that you should listen instead of reading. By the way, you may hear not only songs at this disc, but also two tales – and also you may read the translation of everything you have heard. Anton Jozhik Leyba (Hedgehog)
Year: 2005

Marinita is, in fact, Maryna Zakharova, who was the heart of the very original project Anno Domini. So, Marinita is a certain development to the story, testing herself in a new, even more open format: with the opportunity to collaborate without any special linking to a certain composition. The debut album under the new name...

...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.

Far not every musician is able to breathe in real life into age-old instruments, to let them sound brightly, deeply – not with glass strasses, but with jewels. Olexa Kabanov, no doubt, is. In his performance traditional melodies sound as if they did not have hundreds of years behind their back – to that extent they are live, close, and warm.

In the world, certainly, there are quite a lot of people who play Celtic music – and even more say that they play it. But not everyone is able, having taken a correct basis, to correctly invest his or her own breathing into it – so that the harmony really came to life. Rune – you will hear that yourself – taught their music not simply breathing...

The name of a disc speaks for itself. Here are hopak, sirtaki, lezginka, hava-nagila. Executed on a synthesiser, these melodies are intended rather not for domestic listening, but for use at lessons of dances, or in the dramatised performances or concerts at school or kindergarten.

It seems that every musician who follows the way of self-perfection early or late faces the music culture of the East – and gets penetrated with it. In the end, it is difficult to stay indifferent to this beauty. Thus, the only thing left is to let it in, let it through and – let it go. Evidently, Olexa succeeded in it – you will hear that yourself.

Two new publications with music of the Azov Greeks, almost 20 years after the legendary publications by Alexandr Ashla (which are commemorated in the rubric “Old but still new”). 20 years, and incredible changes have swept the region, thousants of greek-originating people have migrate from the northern coast of the Black Sea to Greece and, the borders being open, the cultural as well as the financial exchanges, are everyday practice. What has been changed, what is still as it was? Sartanski Samotsvity, the “Gems of Sartana” interprete songs in the regional greek language which, while borrowing Slavic and Turkic words, keeps its Greek torso to an extend comprehensible by the (Greek) listener. It keeps also many elements of the Greek musical tradition –modes, rhythms etc– although, as it comes through a system of formal education, has a kind of contemporary Bulgarian hint. Bir Taifa, the “One family” are a nice surprice as, in spite of their Greek origin, are Turkic speaking and their sound is closer to the Krym Tatars. It’s uncertain to which extend these albums depict an ancient tradition; along with the ancient elements, one can find in them strong marks of the last tumultuous years, of the burden of living in a foreing land and of the practice of cultural loans. Recapitalizing all the above, here comes the song In my own hut by Giorgos Mitsakis, which closes the album of Sartanski Samotsnity, putting the question what ends the old and where starts the new, where ends imitation and where does originality starts – exactly there, where nobody expects it.
