Babadag

Ola Bilińska’s original project offers her a chance to experiment with themes and symbols of traditional music and give them forms and sounds that are rarely associated with it. The geographical proximity but also the cultural difference of Lithuania and the beauty of sutartinės become one of the layers of the songs. Traditional melodies are given new lyrics in Polish and English, old verses get new refrains, whereas vocal lines – new instrumental arrangements. The result is music laced with tradition, a blend of the past and the new.
