Rare live version of ‘У Карпатах ходить осінь’ (Autumn in the Carpathians) by Sofia Rotaru at one of her concerts in early 1970s. Rotaru was the first who performed this song about love and autumn ‘trembling with a song’ in blue Carpathian Mountains, starring the popular musical film "Chervona Ruta", produced in 1971 by the Ukrainian TV. The original audio was polished and reverbed in Logic Pro.

A rare live 1975 performance of O Panno Inno by Ukrainian vocal-instrumental ensemble Arnika, featuring vocalist Viktor Morozov, beautifully restored and remastered.

The lyrics are based on a 1915 poem by Pavlo Tychyna, a cornerstone of Ukrainian literary modernism. A song of memory, loss, and longing, this version blends heartfelt delivery with the lush vintage sound of 1970s estrada pop.

🌀 Part of an ongoing archival project: Eastern Bloc sounds, reimagined.
