ALBUM

Music and especially singing play an important part of Russian life. Russian traditional singers and choirs are well-known but they are mostly composed of men. The repertoire of women's songs is in fact as diverse if not more diverse than the traditional one we know. For a long time, men had to serve in the Tsar army for many years (25 years during the time of Peter the Great), or had to leave for few weeks or months for hunting, fur trapping, or other jobs. Women were left alone at home; their best activity was then singing for themselves and many other occasions. Their repertoires and types of singing have not evolved much over the last few centuries, using still today similar types of polyphony and old musical scales. This unusual CD presents old women's songs from three Russian regions: Kieba near the Arctic circle, Br'anks southeast of Moscow, and from the Simielski people in the southeast of Lake Baïkal. ~ Bruno Deschênes
