Slavonic ethno-band Vedan Kolod (meaning Prophetic Tree) was formed in February 2005 in Siberia, Russia by Tatyana Naryshkina. The group perform neo-pagan folk and medieval folk music inspired by eastern Russian culture, landscapes and history. Vedan Kolod sing in the ancient Russian language and play a variety of traditional insutrments including Slavic bagpipes, flutes, war drums, Scythian horn, and sharkuncy - many reconstructed from scratch by their musical master Valerii Naryshkin.

Review

...these songs can be and simply listened to, obtaining true enjoyment from the beautiful voice of Tatiana Naryshkinoy, from the clean sounding of the ancient tools recreated by Valerie, from the Russian melodies going from the heart itself. The ancient culture of heathen Russia revives in the hands of the musicians of Vedan Kolod. - 5/5
