Folk ensemble "Kralytsia". Hodyla pava.

This recording mainly consists of Christmas corals, though there are some other songs in it. As this ensemble is a folk one, it is quite understandable, in which manner these songs are performed, but I would like to say the following. There are certain advantages in a city life, but at the same time there are certain disadvantages. After all this bustling noise of the radio, television and busy streets of the city, it is so pleasant to listen to music similar to this one. Music, which is quiet, open and sincere – something, which has roots that go deeper than asphalt and reinforced concrete. Something, which long before our great-grandfathers were born was a direct communication with the earth, the sky and everything, located between them. Real and that’s why clean. It is like fresh milk, which cannot be compared with any packed milk – even if you long ago used to drink the second one. Such music should be listened to at least for the sake of the following thing – not to fall into a reverie and not to forget initial taste. You know, we all came from the earth, we live on it and our remains will go back to it. As it is.
