Okay, we had a month of stringed instruments in the harp family, then a focus on the guitar as played in the Spanish style... I start this month with one more in this theme but segueing into this month's collection, which is regional folk music that you may not have heard before. Here, from Ukraine, we have the bandura as played by Tetiana and Natalia Mazur and the song, "The Magic Violin" sets the tone, I feel, for the start of September...
So beautiful! and soothing. I hadn't heard or heard of this instrument before, just lovely.
ReplyDeleteit comes deep from her heart.... beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWe loved it. There is a lot of beautiful Ukrainian music and that instrument is a great looking and sounding thing.
ReplyDeleteOh what a treat to see/hear first thing in the morning.

Their voices harmonize so beautifully together and the instruments are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteit looks like an autoharp with a handle, but does not sound like one. my childhood years were full of autoharp music.
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to the bandura!
ReplyDeleteHard to imagine this instrument and those who played it were once the object of persecution as being anti-Soviet. How can beauty be anything but love and joy! namaste, janice xx
