soniaKitka had a wintersongs singalong on Zoom this morning which was way better than I expected. I thought they would just sing a bunch of songs and we would muddle along with them. Instead, they taught a Ukrainian song, A U Ts'oho Pana Sered Dvoru Drevo and a Georgian song, K'irialesa.
Here's the Kurbasy Ensemble performing the Ukrainian song as part of a 90 minute performance. Very dramatic!
Here's Tutarchela with some members of Kitka singing K'irialesa in Georgia in 2010. The video is in slow-motion, although the sound is normal speed. Bonus: Tamar Buadze gorgeously leading Heyamoli in that same living room.
90 minute Koleda (Christmas) concert all in Bulgarian from the Bulgarian Cultural and Heritage Center of Seattle. I have it cued to the Mollovi family concert because 1) They're great musicians 2) Check out the young girl playing the harp bigger than she is, and then singing with her family 3) I think the best moment in the entire concert is how the mom smiles down at her younger child while playing violin at around 22:19.
Dunava Balkan Choir from Seattle singing Sednalo e Djore, dos with many silly socks. This was also shown as part of the BCHCS concert.
A downside of the pandemic is not being able to sing with people in person. An upside is seeing music from all over the world from the comfort of my own home.
