Lmao, they call Shostakovich "Polish-russian", guess where his roots take place from?

IT'S FUCKING BELARUS.

EVEN HIS SURNAME IS TYPICAL BELARUTHIAN.

Although in łacinka, it would be Šostakovič.

His grandparents from both sides were repressed and deported to Siberia.

Šostakovič also strongly condemned antisemitism. He also admitted that russia was a very unsafe place for Jews.

People say: "Where is your Belaruthian culture" - THERE IT IS.

Imagine doing song in a language that less than 10 million people understand. Imagine what kind of cultural impact it can have. Well 

Udio can almost do phonk in Belarusian. And finally Runway has something interesting to show. Welcome to dark sounds of Belarusian.

FOLK MUSIC HELP

OK! My lovely folk music people! I am desperately trying to find folk songs about Rusalki, but the language barrier has left me blocked ToT

I've found an absolutely stellar album, from Kitka's The Rusalka Cycle - Songs Between the Worlds

I'm pretty darn close to just reaching out to them directly, but I'm wondering if any of y'all know of any folk songs about Rusalki????

It's really rare to get folk music about a monster like this and I am chomping at the bit to learn some and talk about them in my own folk music circles

Also if you know the english translations of the ones you know, I would thank you 1 million times to know what those songs are about 😭

So I’m still doing my “add at least one song from every country in the world to my playlist” resolution. The Spotify autocomplete function/algorithm in general is really reminding me of one of the reasons I wanted to do it.

Basically if you search for a relatively well off country, first results will be something like “restaurant/tavern/date night music from [country].” Countries with lower GDPs or recent wars or what have you will generally get you podcast episodes about Why is [Country] So Troubled?

And trust me, there’s definitely room for educational content like that.

Buuuut art can be a great way to get past headlines and stereotypes and so on and so forth. So it’s fun to dig a little deeper like … okay, what’s your indie scene? What does your r&b sound like? What sounds do your DJs like sampling? Do you have a metal scene? Etc etc etc. As a species we’re great at making art despite everything.

Mom: Actually, if not for the fact that AR$EN was banned in russia, I'd never learn about his music... Despite, what is Belaruthian music? Either "a ja liahu-pryliahu" or heavy metal...
