EAST-CENTRAL EUROPEAN POST-SOVIET STATES EDITION #2
Discuss here the traditional and regional musics of Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. As I'm nowhere near intimately familiar with the musics of either country, the recommendations I can give are extremely preliminary and subject to change as we, together, explore more of their traditions.

Very comfy, christmassy. Doesn't really feel like it's giving a great look into Ukrainian folk traditions, though.
I'm at work and we unfortunately don't have any Ukrainian, Moldovan or Belarussian records. Instead i'm listening to this compilation of Bulgarian folk music and it's pretty neat. Features instrumental as well as vocal music.
I found some downloads for a nice album of Belarusian trad from folkways as well as a compilation called "Folk Music of the USSR" I'm curios to see if it will be actual folk songs from these countries or Soviet works songs and the such. Either way it should be interestng.
Anyone have any recs on bandura music? I hate the tribal-esque aspects of pop musicians like Ruslana which supposedly feature ukrainian trad music influences. They're the reason I've kept myself away from ukrainian trad music for a while.

Bulgarian trad music on the other hand is really nice, in both traditional and pop (as long as it's not chalga) form. Them asymmetrical rhythms are some rad shit.

mostly vocal Belarusian trad album with short musical interludes in between. I like this decision to flip flop between the longer vocal songs and the shorter instrumental ones. Very nice comfy album, get sort of a "Russian Winter" vibe that makes me want to curl up by a fire place while tons of snow rains down outside.

Fuck, I'm at work but I bought some folk albums from ex-ussr bloc countries. If there's a thread up in like 5 hours I'll rip the records and drop them here.
If not, I'll put them in a sharethread.

It probably won't be up, but we can give it a try. Sounds good though.
