Bay Area Balkan choir Kitka is posting videos from their Wintersongs concerts this year: Wintersongs 2021. They are such fantastic singers. Not much directly religious or Christian content, and the songs are in Georgian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, etc. anyway. Videos added daily Dec 21-31.

I got to be at the evening concert December 11 at the Freight & Salvage, and I'm so glad I made that pilgrimage, since I won't travel or attend concerts while omicron surges. In the years since I last saw a Kitka concert, I've learned so much more about hearing and creating those kinds of songs. I hear layers instead of a wash of sound. Knowing more about how it's done makes them even more impressive!

Their 31 days of videos for Wintersongs 2020 are still up, including the concert-length finale.

Joni Mitchell has released a beautiful animated watercolor video for "River", her Christmas breakup song, celebrating its 50th anniversary. Video created by director Matvey Rezanov and Skazka Studios. Via [personal profile] runpunkrun.
