Lithuania, 2012, Lithuanian folk / neofolk

Gyvata – Su vėjužiu kalbėjau: This is one of only two Lithuanian albums in my collection, but based on what I like from my two albums, I want to find time to explore more traditional music from this old country. The choral female vocals evoke an ethereal, pastoral atmosphere, underpinned by beautiful violins. Overall, however, this strikes me as a teensy-weensy bit inauthentic, so it will probably never rise into the upper echelon of my best folk.
