🌲🎶 Welcome to Min-On’s Music Journey! Today we're exploring the Republic of Belarus, a beautiful country of deep forests and lakes spread across broad plains. 🇧🇾✨
The country has a rich musical heritage deeply intertwined with people’s everyday lives, from seasonal festivals and agricultural work to weddings. 🌾💍🎵
Traditional Belarusian instruments include the duda (bagpipe), zhaleika (wind instrument), hudok (bowed string instrument) and tsymbaly (hammered string instrument). 🎻🎶
Over the course of its history, Belarus also developed traditions of church music and urban musical culture. Our journey introduces musicians recommended by the Embassy of the Republic of Belarus in Japan, including Pesniary, Leprikonsy, Kupalinka, Verasy, IOWA and more. 🎤🎼✨
We hope you enjoy Belarus, and please look forward to our next destination! 🌍🎶
