00:00Polish duo Swara and Nichos are bringing a new beat to traditional Slavic music.
00:05Using white singing, a traditional vocal technique from the Podlasia region in eastern Poland,
00:10they aim to show that tradition does not have to be left in the past and that it can evolve into the modern day.
00:16We recorded a teledysk on the beautiful Podlasian, in the Lonce,
00:21I remember about the sun.
00:23We liked it so much that we started to explore this topic.
00:27This is music from the whole world, which we explore here,
00:31and the Podlasian songs, a place in our local culture.
00:37When I was a very small girl, then I was taught to be a blue song.
00:43We also met in the Lodowy group, so this type of song is not a choice.
00:49I always loved it. It's a beautiful tradition and culture.
00:54It's a beautiful song.
00:58It's a beautiful song.
01:00The traditional song is very powerful and very strong.
01:04It's a great song.
01:06It's a very melodic song.
01:08It's a very plastic song, so you can say it a lot.
01:10And on the other hand, I feel that I can distance myself,
01:13singing not in the first language, but in the first language,
01:16which I learned from the years.
01:20In the middle of the world, I think, all of us speak in this language.
01:23We at home, in the city, in Bielsk, it's not so much.
01:26But in the middle of the world, all the babies,
01:29and where are they?
01:30And where are they?
01:31And where are they?
01:32And where are they?
01:33Exactly.
01:34And here is another thing that's always useful and still uses this to be used.
01:37As it appears, they like dancing to bass,
01:41and the people that are already above the years but also,
01:45I think that their children're passing their children's children,
01:47and they has to also hate the children.
01:50Soare and Nichos reach for the musical roots of the past
01:53and gives them a contemporary form.
01:55the very borderlands they come from, geographical, cultural, and generational.
