about

Vuraj folk band presents their new work with the aptly enigmatic and intriguing title "Six Riddles". This EP includes only three songs - "Šeść zahadok" ("Six riddles"), "Haju" ("Oakwood") and "Ščodry viečor" ("Night of plenty"), but all of them share the mystical mood of the CD.

Two things are particularly notable about this mini album, short as it may be. For the first time Vuraj releases the studio versions along with the originals performed by old women of West Palessie. The very original songs that inspired the musicians to bring forth this album and that lie in the core of its material.

"Every song is a universe to us - one with the atmosphere, history and sacral code of its own. You try to understand it, you try to feel it and, eventually, reimagine it", says the band's frontman Siarzhuk Douhushau.

The other thing special about the release is the sound of the band, enriched with the accordion of the talented Aliaksandr Yasinsky. With him joining the band, Siarzhuk comments, begins a new chapter of Vuraj's story and evolution.
