Circle of Lithuanian polyphonic songs

It is with the greatest joy that I invite those whose hearts are calling them to know their roots, to be in the present and in their sound, to join. A place where you can start singing, even if you have never done it before. A circle of strangers where status, age, gender, experience and social class disappear. There we speak a different language - the language of the conventions.

Sutartinės - one of the oldest recorded Lithuanian folk songs. They are protected by Unesco as an intangible asset of Lithuanian heritage. So what are these sutartinės?

They are polyphonic, ritual songs sung centuries ago by people who worked the land, lived in the rhythm of the Sun, celebrated the equinoxes, fed and fed off nature, and worked hard. Today, when we no longer need to sow flax for clothes, grow rye for bread, there is more and more time to search for our identity, and sometimes we find ourselves longing for "something" that we sometimes do not understand ourselves. The twists and turns of history, the changes in people's lives, the innovations, sink some traditions into oblivion, but we are witnesses to the fact that things are coming back to life..... in a different way, in different colours, but they are coming back.

In the same way, the way of the traditional songs, which has been forgotten in rural communities, is being revived in the world of the modern urban man, as a system of singing that brings communion and heals the longing of the heart. So I invite you to discover and rediscover!
