What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

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...

  8. Hard 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
