Folk group "Vesnyanka". Oh come out vesnyanky.
It seems to me that this is the fourth album of the folk group "Vesnysnka" - so, it is for the fourth time that I am impressed with the skilfulness of the group. Now the subject of their research is the culture of performance in Rivnenske Polissya. According to scientists, it is exactly in Polissya region that the most archaic folklore relics have been preserved. In other words, "Vesnysnka" gives us the opportunity to hear and to feel our Ukrainian ceremonial songs the way they were several, if not more than several, centuries ago. More detailed and better grounded ideas about that may be found in the booklet – and it is really interesting to read the information presented there. Even if you are not so much interested in the aspect of time and scientific research, all the same this album is worth while listening to. You should not be a great connoisseur to estimate the true worth of the cleanliness and beauty of performance. It possesses a certain essential magic, which provokes subconscious memory in people – even if you do not grasp the content and the meanings of words at once. Because this singing contains another content – which is hidden behind the words. It is worth while listening in order to hear that singing at least for the sake of feeling.

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.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Folk ensemble "Kralytsia". Oj u Kyjevi...


The performance is very close to authentic; even certain minimalism is present in the means of its realization, but thanks exactly to this, the deepness of sense and the beauty of forms and origin come to the foreground.

I liked the CD very much. I was looking for a well produced CD of traditional Ukrainian music. The singing and playing are of the highest calibre.
