Today was my birthday. There was a big celebration at Klara's house. I haven't been able to post anything because I spent a lot of time copying, editing, and uploading the folk songs they were singing.
Mnohya Lyta
Lita Moya Moloden
Chom Ty Ne Pryjshov
Chervona Ruzha Troyanda
V hlbokej doline, srnka vodu pije
Last year, 2013, I spent a month staying and living with my relatives in their village outside Uzhgorod. I’ve written this blog describing my trip and experiences in Zakarpattia. I’ve also included hundreds of photos I hope you will enjoy, as well as some video and audio recordings of Rusyn folk songs and Prostopinije “plainchant” hymns from Greek Catholic services. I will be returning to Ukraine in September, this time for a 3 month stay, and I will continue writing and posting photo’s.
