my imagining of the tully girls, cat in blue and lysa in green :]]

i took most elements of their outfits from polish silesian traditional dresses, from the bytom region!!! i image they would only wear those costumes on rlly important occassions and usually wear much more casual wear, maybe more south (KL?) inspired :]]

im rlly hppy with this one !!

"Eighty-year-old Silvia Dan learnt her folk songs at her grandmother’s knee. Having spent her life caring for livestock on her smallholding in the Carpathian Mountains, she’s now starring on an album released in the UK.

Made by Romanian-born, Brighton-based artist Nico de Transilvania, the album – Interbeing – was recorded in the remote village of Nucsoara, where Dan is renowned for the pure beauty of her voice. A team of artists, videographers, photographers and musicians travelled to the village 180km north of Bucharest to record with Dan and local musicians on traditional Romanian flutes.

It is an area that is renowned for its old-growth forests which support lynx, wolves and bears, and is often described as the Amazon of Europe. Illegal logging has severely affected the region, so de Transilvania wanted to record the album as a way to use music to restore some of the damage. Every copy of the album sold will go towards planting native trees that are properly protected in law, in a project personally overseen by de Transilvania via her nonprofit Forests without Frontiers. So far the organisation has planted 150,000 trees over the last three years.

For Dan, whose grandmother wrote all her own folk songs, it feels right that they are now helping to restore the forests that inspired her.

“The album means a lot to me, it makes me proud that future generations will hear my ancestor’s songs – music and nature are embedded in our blood,” she said. “I am so happy that money raised will help to restore the landscape near my village – it has been devastating to see the destruction, and this project gives me hope.”"

I was participating in Drag Race and my outfit was a burlesque version of a Slavic old lady. My whole song was about how youth ruined vegetables I’ve spent the whole summer growing.

hello gay and eastern european people in my computer!! i'm asking for song recommendations for a playlist i'm working on

i need to diversify the languages on here, as it's pretty much exclusively russian and hungarian rn. if you've got any suggestions from those language, I'll still take em, but i'm mostly looking for other slavic languages + romanian. i will also take english songs from eastern european artists that fit the mood.

the edgier and more emo the song is the better. if it sounds like a teenager wrote the lyrics, even better! distorted vocals and mean sounding guitars are very appreciated, though i will also take melancholic acoustic songs

please reblog with links or send me an ask with your recs!

Call me biased but 1970s-2000s was the peak of russian music. Not that there aren't any good songs now, but there's just something about music from time period that really gets me.
