"Bozhychi" folk ensemble. Sho z Kyjeva ta j do Rusalyma. Kolyada songs. (From Kyiv to Jerusalem)
You might have met this group in our collection earlier – when the ensemble released its first album (the producer of which was Oleh Skrypka). Furthermore, "Bozhychy" quite often participate in folk festivals, while Kievers, if I am not mistaken, could even see them as participants of a theatrical performance. Thus, we may state that the ensemble is living and advance ahead. And it is pleasant, because both from the very beginning and now "Bozhychy" can skilfully create a very warm and cosy atmosphere. As a matter of fact, you feel as if your old friends have come for a moment to welcome you – and stayed for some light hours. You see these people not so often, but when you do see them, you really feel glad – because with them even silence seems to be good. Still, you don’t know that for sure – as they don’t keep silent, they sing. They sing well. They sing honestly.

Ladovytsi. A Bozhaya Maty po svitu khodyla. /digi-pack/. (Oh Mother of God walked along the world)


"Ladovytsi" have a very respectful attitude to preservation of the tradition – thus, we are talking about reproduction of the authentic performance. However, you don't need to think about that – just listen, because the songs are really good. They somehow imperceptibly dissolve the exhaustion and habit of the routine – and fill with the hope for joy.

Ethnogroup "Silska muzyka". Oy, sered sela... (Hey, Amidst the Village...)


Ethnogroup "Silska Muzyka" is a very close relative of the known folklore group "Vesnyanka". At all events, founding fathers are the same for these collectives. And, actually, their direction of research is also, at least now, close – it is folklore of Rivnenske Polissya.

this is a good example of traditional vocal production. The acoustic is that of a field recording - one can almost smell the wood smoke. Many tracks are more interesting than they an aesthetic treat, but it is a good introduction to the style.

I feel this may be a prime example of simple, country folk singing - especially when I hear sheep bleating in the background at the beginning of one track, adding to its charm. I am not especially fond of the loud singing by female singers which is nearly shouted. This CD is not one of my favorites, but still is interesting in its palette of a wide variety of folk songs.
