Unique progressive Ethno Art Pop based on centuries old folk tunes of the ancient Nanaian / Jurchen / Manchurian cultures. Кола Бельды (Kola Baldy), who passed away in 1993, was a popular singer of Nanaian descent - a people originating in far east Asia, along the Amur river bordering China and Russia.
Kola brings a full, warm mid-ranged voice, chanting the ancient melodies. Using old Nanaian instruments and modern instruments with a far eastern approach, the overall mystical atmosphere is mostly solemn and spiritual. However, more prog-rock oriented tunes could bring back memories of Italian movie soundtracks by GOBLIN.
Apart from a rare Japanese edition in the mid-90's (which goes for 3-figure sums), this is the first CD reissue since the original vinyl release of 1989.
According to the label: "Beldy's music is so unique, there's actually nothing to compare with. Let's carefully say: fans of Peter Gabriel, Goblin, Enya and Wardruna will love it".
