Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Ensemble performs village songs learned directly from traditional singers during folklore expeditions across rural Russia, part of a repertoire that grew beyond one thousand songs. The album followed the group's international breakthrough alongside the Paul Winter Consort on 'Earthbeat', recorded after Pokrovsky had received the USSR State Prize for Literature and Arts.
