A NEW WAVE OF TRADITIONAL MUSIC IN THE WESTERN CAUCASUS


Initially, we planned a series of releases of new traditional music in the Western Caucasus. Before moving Ored Recordings to Tbilisi, it was planned to include this Myst’s album, the new album of Jrpjej, the debut album of the Karachai band Gollu, and again the first album of the Ossetians Ragon in the conceptual Anthology. We never managed to record Ossetians, and the fresh full-length album Jrpjej was reduced to a mini album of 5-6 songs. Circassians Myst and Gollu have reached full-fledged “big” releases. We advise you to read the description of the album of the latter. There we briefly talk about a new generation of musicians who are trying to find their own meanings and ways to play traditional music today.
Like any cultural movement, this wave has social, political, and artistic reasons. All the young girls and guys from these groups and ensembles got bored of looking for interesting music somewhere out there and they decided to do what they love right here, right now.
The bands were created in parallel and independently, but eventually, Ossetians, Karachays, and Circassians from different republics found each other and began to cooperate.
Of course, even in this small and nascent environment, there are conflicts and feuds reminiscent of the Norwegian black metal scene of the noughties, but everything goes without fatal cases.
Perhaps there is no competition between the collectives of our non-accidental Anthology also because, in terms of sound and aesthetics, each group goes its own way. We were afraid that by putting all these approaches into the frame of one series, we would impose our vision and artistic solutions on the musicians. more:
