Kitka - WINTER SONGS (2003)

The voices of the eight women of KITKA-sometimes earthy, sometimes ethereal, always soulful- shine brilliantly on this much-anticipated collection of 20 seasonal songs gathered from many Eastern European lands and spiritual traditions. Highlights include ritual songs, folk carols and sacred hymns from Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Latvia, Macedonia, Moravia, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine that celebrate the Winter Solstice, Christmas, Chanukah, St. Basil's Day, Epiphany, and the New Year. These are songs that ring out to warm and brighten cold, dark nights; songs that ward off evil spirits; songs that bestow blessings for health and prosperity; songs that call out "allelujah," and songs that summon peace on earth and good tidings to all.
