Dear visitors of site www.folk.by!
I’m glad to welcome you on our page. Hopefully you’ll become regular customers of our site and
life in a FOLK style will become your own life.
This project wouldn’t have come into existence if it were not for our grannies and grandfathers
from all over the country, who not only passed on native songs and music from generation to generation
but also aroused our interest in them so that we adopted this valuable treasure.
Many thanks to Ales Uladzimiravich Los for the music that he managed not only to collect and preserve,
but also learned to play it and now does his best to teach us play it.
Thanks a million to Irina Vasiljeuna Maziuk who showed me the beauty of the national song,
who gave me my first classes in singing, who generously shared with me records from her personal collection.
Best thanks to Aleh Lukjantzau who in due time had faith in us.
Thanks a lot to Antos Skrypka who created this web-site and hopefully will maintain it hereafter.
And thanks very much to the godfather of my child and the father of my godchild at the same time,
Vasil Gryn that he is with us.
Faithfully yours,
Ales Zhukhouski

10 ë³ñòàïàäà 2009 ã.
In October, 2009 our group went on ethnographic expedition to Palesse. Those were three unforgettable days of travelling,
meeting new people and singing. We recorded over 10 hours of valuable material, which is currently being arranged.
Not sure if we found the song, which no ethnographer heard, but that was not our purpose. We went to experience the
true mutual ancient manner of singing. We appreciate villagers of Atverzhychy (Stolin district) and Kliatnaya
(Pinsk district) for the treasure which they shared with us. With all our strength we will promote and keep it
with NO CHANGES everything that was heard and seen.
