Folk music can be not only fiery and philosophical, but also unexpected. The Khakas avant-garde shamans from the band Хара (Khara) understand this well, and present a combination of brooding Russian melancholy and the drive of folk-rock. Deep ballads with a social context and hooligan rock replace each other on this album in the spirit of a mental kaleidoscope.

This ethnic shamanic rock from heart of Khakassia (a republic in southern Siberia, inhabited by a Turkic indigenous people) will appeal to all fans of folk-rock and ethno-punk styles, with shades of avant-garde jazz, Sayan blues, and unrestrained improvisations.
