Kust - CD

'Kust' is the name of one of the spring rituals from Ukrainian and Belarusian Polesie. The word itself simply means 'bush', on the Green Sunday (Trijca) represented by a young girl dressed in branches. Our music focuses on those rites and rituals: those that are no longer practiced, those that are being slowly forgotten and finally those that are still practiced today. Our musical roots are complex and varied. Marta Derejzyk, Joanna Gancarczyk, Rafal Kolacki, Joanna Skowronska, Tadeusz Skowronski and Mikolaj Zielinski. You may have heard us in traditional, industrial, folk, psychedelic-rock, hardcore and even techno line-ups. We collect traditional songs ourselves, during field research, in Lower Silesia, in Leczyca, but also in Ukrainian and Belarusian Polesie. We also perform archive queries. We record not only songs, but also the acoustic environment of rituals and even of individual places.
