about

A very famous slow song from the Rodopi mountains, that was the thematic and musical thread for the beautiful film by Nikolai Haitov, “Krayat Na Pesenta” (1971). Tui studied the melody and ornaments with Svetla Stanilova and Elichka Krastanova, and arranged it first for vocal duet, then trio. These five verses describe the arc of an existential conversation between mother and daughter, as the daughter lies on her death-bed, in springtime - everything buds from the earth, as she prepares to go in.

lyrics

Руфинка болна легнала
На високана планина
Никой до нейе немеше

Сал една стара майчица
В’чешка й вода даваше
И на Руфинка думаше

Руфинка мое дощеро
Мила ли ти е рубана
Мила ли ти е диньоса

Малеле стара майчинко
Не ми е мила рубана
Наи ми е мила диньоса

Че се е пролет пукнала
Всичко от земя излиза
Пък йе във земя да влизам

Zesty irregular rhythms, stirringly close harmony & the evocative voices of Tui Mamaki (French), Chelsea Prastiti (Greek) & Siobhan Grace (Samoan) / Sally Howe (Cook-Island), make this a rare and compelling musical moment! ... more
