SEN SVAJA - Kraitis Is Pelkes - The Dowry From A Swa (Sealed) (CD)

Sen Svaja is a Lithuanian experimental post-folklore band from Vilnius. They enrich folk songs of different nations with distinctive arrangements. In Prussian language ‘Sen swajjais’ means ‘with relatives’, ‘with your own’.Connecting Baltic traditions and music with traditions and music of other cultures, Sen Svaja believes that a ‘relative’ does not in particularly have to be someone who is close to you, but also the one you make ‘your own’. On "Kraitis I? Pelk?s" - The Dowry from a Swamp" you can find Lithuanian, Serbian, Macedonian,Norwegian, Turkish and English folk songs arranged by Sen Svaja. The musicians are influenced above all by the folk music of the northern countries and worship the great Sami singer Mari Boine
