about

The album is based on authentic song material, which was collected during expeditions into various parts of Belarus.
Recorded, mixed and mastered between october'2012 and march'2014 at Vozdookh studio, Brest, Belarus by Andrew Bogdanow.

Rajok (Raj) is a folklore fantasy character represented in autumn reaping days’ songs. Our forefathers or «dziady» believed, that Rajok is a creature that could talk to croppers, ask the way, and sometimes come into the yard. The visits of such a being were supposed to cause greater happiness. Rajok takes care of cereals, helps to stay healthy and live in prosperity throughout the year.

Rajok is also associated with a bee swarm, but mostly the word is used as a derivative from Raj that means 'paradise'. It also denotes the Sacred World Tree.
