Circassian folk dance

Male dancers often move entirely on tiptoe in soft leather boots, without the rigid plaster or wooden support associated with ballet footwear. The result is a fast, gliding step that can make the dancer appear to float or defy gravity, showcasing extraordinary balance, discipline, and control.

Фолк, эмбіент і дум-метал. «Шлях» - трэк з новага альбома Цішыні Успамінаў: калі беларуская балада не змяшчаецца ў межах жанраў

Spotify | Bandcamp | Apple Music | YouTube Music | YouTube

Альбом «Міжсьветы» - гэта гук, які нарадзіўся дзесьці паміж палескімі балотамі, старадаўнімі матывамі і тым, што звычайна прыходзіць толькі ў снах. Гэта падарожжа праз туман, агонь, памяць і цішыню.

Асаблівае месца ў альбоме займае сумесная праца Цішыні Успамінаў і Belle Morte «Шлях» - для тых, хто хоча пачуць беларускую музыку за межамі чаканага.

Гэта момант, дзе альбом «Міжсьветы» канчаткова перастае быць проста фолк-эмбіентам.

Трэк пачынаецца як туманная фолк-балада, але паступова ператвараецца ў цяжкую, амаль тэатральную містэрыю ў чатырох актах. Тут славянскія матывы сустракаюцца з дум-металам, чысты жаночы вакал - з гроўлам, а лірычная прыгажосць - з адчуваннем, зямля сыходзіць з-пад ног.

#‼️NO AI. ONLY REAL MUSIC.

Step into a world shaped by ancestral memory, sacred traditions and the spirit of the Slavic lands.

This playlist blends Slavic folk, dark ambient, ethereal and neofolk music into a deeply atmospheric journey through forests, rivers, forgotten villages and ancient wisdom passed from generation to generation.

Inspired by the cultural heritage of Slavic peoples, these songs carry echoes of old beliefs, seasonal rites, lullabies, laments and the quiet relationship between humans and nature. Wooden flutes, ritual percussion, layered vocals and immersive ambient textures create a sound that feels both ancient and timeless.

Perfect for introspection, reading, traveling, meditation, creative work or moments when you want to feel closer to your roots and the living memory of the old world.

Hey. I am a huge Townes fan, always on the look out for new folk doing things in a similar vein. I was pointed to Sean Keel by a Reddit suggestion. I honestly think he is Dylan level as a lyricist, want to know if I’m just nuts or if there are some folk out there that know of the guy, and agree, or disagree. Have not been this excited about a songwriter since I started listened to Tom Waits lo those many years ago.

Changes are easy, D to E. The chorus is a little tricky because there is an extra bar on the D chord that bleeds into the next measure. Another traditional song too. Thanks for the opportunity to share the music I love with you all!

Amsterdam Live Version Gone Off Youtube :(

There was an acoustic version of Amsterdam that was on YouTube for years and years. I cant remember the title exactly, but it was in a dressing room pre show somewhere. I put it on daily. All of a sudden it's gone. Can anyone help me get the video somehow? TIA!
