Covering southern Belarus and northern Ukraine, the region of Polessye is known as "the land of legends, fairy tales, and songs." Influenced by a landscape filled with forests and meadows, the traditional music from this area often revolves around seasonal changes, harvests, and related festivities. The vast terrain also inspired the practice of open-air group singing, which can be heard throughout the album. These spirited songs are colored by polyphonic chants around instruments including the fife, violin, and, on one track, the dulcimer-rare in Polessye music.The liner notes provide full details on instruments and the cultural significance of each track.
