####1. V O E - Chemical EP [Viper Recordings] Recommended if you like: Koven, MUZZ, Zardonic

Are you surprised? I'm not.

I'm the first to admit that I have what doctors would probably call an unhealthy obsession with V O E's music. Allow me to bring forth some evidence for this claim: One, two, three, four reviews, all chock-full of me fanboying over them. I swear it's not my fault though. Ever since Tom Calvett, aka Tevlo, and Caroline Tucker, aka CARZi, decided to join forces in 2018, they have been at the top of their game. After two years of an unbroken hot streak of bangers on M4SONIC's label Global League, other labels around the world finally realised what they were missing out on. In an extremely short amount of time, the duo from Adelaide, Australia spread their musical goodness across labels like Blackout, Liquicity and ProtoCode, winning both third place in Black Sun Empire's recent Driving Insane remix competition with one of the biggest remixes of this year and Track And Build 2.0's competition with their anthem Giants, before eventually exclusively signing to Futurebound's Viper Recordings earlier this year. Not to mention, they have so many amazing tunes hidden away that they could probably dump an insane 30-track album out of nowhere and would still have enough tunes to keep their normal rel

Recently I've been trying to find some information about the song верила, верила, верю (where it's from, when it was first recorded, etc.) and I haven't had any luck. This isn't the first time I've been unable to learn anything about the history of a Russian folk song, so I was wondering if anyone knows any good books or online databases with that sort of information. And I can read Russian, so that won't be a problem. Any help is appreciated!

So I recently stomped upon this wonderfull group that is Otava Yo on YouTube and absolutely fell in love with this music.

I'm trying to find if not similar groups, at least some other Russian folk bands with these happy vibe, polyphonic voice choirs etc.

I don't get a single russian word but love the way this language sounds !

I'm American but my family comes from Ireland. There is a ton of music that I listen to (especially when having a drink or two but even without) that really makes me proud of my heritage. I'm casually learning the Russian language and while I was learning it I thought it might be a good idea to take in some Russian music. Ideally I would like Russian Folk music that makes people proud to be Russian. Not necessarily related to any political entity of Russia in the past 100 years or so, but just Folk music that when you hear and have a drink or two feel the swell of pride to be Russian.

Any suggestions?

I don't like the Russian Federation either but I have a feeling this is from a bunch of American 12 year old gals. It just seems super... fake to me.

Politically speaking Kendrick is the psychologically more astute interlocutor when it comes to dissecting the disparities between catharsis versatile mismatches in terms of lyricism but intellectually and environmentally viable modes of production tend to fore cast African American intertwined full tethered but not insight into the depths of catastrophic allegorical metamorphic anterior linguistic norms.

With that being said holistically and typographically he misreported and realigned dearest fortitudes.

I was wondering if you guys were in general agreement with my analysis of Russian folk music. What should I discuss next?

I like listening to Russian (and Polish, Ukrainian, etc) folk music. But is this music common for people in their early 20s to listen in Russia? Whenever I watch videos of these folk music, it looks like it's only old people who are interested in it. Is it only because of the novelty that I am so interested in it?

I'm working on finding music for a play set in 1890s Russian countryside and have been having trouble finding Russian folk music from before the 1900s. I've been working on finding musicians active during the time, but most are classical piano and orchestral composers instead of folk music with a balalaika or 7-stringed guitar like I'm after. So I thought I'd try asking if anyone else knows of any good Russian folk musicians, popular folk songs, or just good places to start researching that might help me find what I'm looking for. Thank you!

Looking for the name of this music piece, unsure if its a custom piece, or if the melody is a folk piece adapted fro dance? The dance is conducted by a Ukrainian group but I believe the music is Russian - possibly from the Kuban / Azov region?

I'm making a very controversial hypothesis here by suggesting that some Russian music sounds similar to Italian music (and vice versa). Please bear with me, I'm not entirely familiar with both music, but I'm really eager to learn whether they had some sort of influence on each other or to be proven wrong. So by all means, do correct me and share what you have to say about the topic.

Also, what instruments do the Italians use that sounds like a balalaika?

Hello, I'm looking for the sheet music for this russian folk song, Horse or Конь.
I'd be most grateful for the sheet music for this version:

However any help will be much appreciated

If this belongs in a more music-related sub, feel free to take this down or let me know.

Russian heritage speaker here. I'm usually an EDM fan but lately I've been looking to find some songs with Russian lyrics to vibe to, and a lot of what I find now tends to be rock or pop. I live in the US and don't have much contact with other Russians.

I'm not the best with genre-naming, but if you have any suggestions for chill folk, neofolk, or similar (especially if it's a masculine soloist vocal with an acoustic guitar) off the top of your head, please let me know, thanks! :)

Like I really like russian folk music my top 4 out of 5 songs are russian. I always get weird looks from everyone(most of them are like really hard weebs or like k-pop too much) . I am not saying it is wrong liking them, go ahead and like whatever you want I don't care. But it is more than mildly annoying

I'm investigating about Rimsky-Korsakov nationalism. And Im looking for resources that point me out which traditional russian folk music he uses.

Like for example some music that is usually used for a traditional dance. Or music that was usually used for festivals or such.

Thank you for your time

I know that Russia and, well the whole Eastern Slavic people is a rather touchy subject for some. But I recently discovered their folk music, I've never been one for lyricless music, even if it's in another language I like lyrics. But I'm making an exception for Russian folk music, I've never been more at peace with myself than listening to these songs. This is the music I would listen to for creative writing, or to listen to in front of a fireplace in the dead of Winter. How ironic that a country that would literally kill me for my sexuality, has music that has never made me feel comfier.
