Vocal Coach REACTS - Laboratoium Piezni 'Sztoj pa moru' (Што й па мору)

[@MissSalmonella82]

It is called a white voice, a way of singing that can be found in the traditional music of all Slavic countries. It varies from country to country. I come from Poland and I can see a clear difference between Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian and Balkan songs.

[@LilWolfGrem]

Thank you for explaining this I’ve been in love with this song for years and never knew much about it. It feels so calming and deep like I feel connected on some sort of spiritual level and I’m not even remotely religious or anything. I love learning about different cultures and traditions.

[@peterdowejko6120]

My friend, this is Eastern Ancient Europe. This song is from Belarus. Slavic blood. It is not just the vibe, it is state of mind and soul.

[@Chezarcat]

Wow, this is an unusual one to react to, but I am so grateful to you for doing it. Polish traditional music is beautiful and reminds me somewhat of my own, since I am Lithuanian and we (Lithuania andPoland) were one country for a good amount of time in the past. Loved the song and your reaction!

[@przemysawr5824]

This is not Polish song, but Belarus.

Bogowie, czemu zawsze pod folkiem musza być komentarze o wiedźminie. To jest trochę denerwujące. I nie chodzi mi tutaj oczywiście o twój komentarz, tylko bardziej właśnie o ludzi z zachodu, jak Pan tutaj.

Obsessed with this song. I could listen to it over and over and ovvver again.

[@yodyodyodyo]

Ahh I love them! And I can listen to their singing for hours. I would recommend listening to Eivor

[@CP-ll6qg]

They call it "white voice" in the slavic countries, not a lot of info about it online but it's common to older folk music from the region. Speakers of many Slavic languages, Polish included, usually keep their jaws tighter/more closed when speaking, it's part of the pronunciation, so I imagine that contributed to the style. You can see they don't drop their jaws down as much as most classic western singers, though they open wide horizontally like smiling--one girl does open her mouth more and I feel like I can hear which voice is hers over the others actually. The style is similar (though not identical) to American Shape Note/Sacred Harp singing, which is essentially white singing with a southern accent. They open their mouths more (that drawl coming out) but the sound resonates similarly. It's associated with religous revivals in the southeast, so I imagine one reason the style developed was that the sound really carries for blocks when a whole church is singing it ( excellent example here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnrOgayLmsimpKs and here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYXXq2qQnap2bLc ). Thanks for the video.

[@piotrrud6986]

Accually the term is wrong and was created with incompetence. Recent conclusion of ethnomusicologists is that there is not Such a thing as the white voice

[@radovanarezina5887]

@@piotrrud6986 yes there is but it dosent mean white it means big or loud. The reason is Belo (white) in early slavic history meant big as well as white. In serbia for example we say white world when we want to say huge world or literaly the capital is called Beograd or big citty :)

[@annashvets2059]

So very folk Belarusian!

[@jbvincent47]

The way he described their vocal style made it click in my head that it's basically a vocal version of the bagpipes or a hurdy gurdy with the constant droning in the background.

[@kat-xu8qp]

such a nice surprise! it's one of my favourite songs of all time. thank you for giving it a listen

[@lea-anne9133]

I didn't understand a word of it but that was very cool.. kind of hypnotic. Reminded me of old celtic songs/style

I love 'tribal' singing. It's very earthy & beautiful. I saw a stunning, colourful African choir many years ago. So uplifting & joyful. My 10th request, please!! for Unleash the Archers, "Faster Than Light". You have done 1 from them. Power rock, Canadian band. Happy New Year.⭐

[@thyme4coffee203]

[@-R.Gray-]

Their harmonies remind me of The Trio Bulkarka, a Bulgarian vocal group who Kate Bush used on some albums to sing backup vocals, and who were also an inspiration to guitarist Jeff Beck.

[@janmatusiak3676]

Thx a lot Ken. You made my day. Love that song. I heard about Laboratorium Pieśni two weeks ago I think... I'm Polish btw... Beth Roars, a fellow yt vocal couch did a reaction to their song "U Lisi". Since then I have listenned to everything Laboratorium Pieśni related. I especially recommend checking out their debut album called "Rosna"

[@Kristen242008]

I LOVE this song! I've listened to it enough that I can sing along with them. And I don't even know that language! You should check out Eivør Pálsdóttir - Trøllabundin. She sings that song a bit different at every live show. My favorite if the video of her standing in front of the Kópakonan statue!

The song is about feathers falling into the sea, and a young woman is to pick up the feathers from the sea. ... Its a story. A fun story.

[@tamashii6670]

Wow, you react something from my country. :) But it's Laboratorium Pieśni, you should change title. ;) And letter "ś" it's not soft "z", it's soft "s". They perform slavic folk music, this song is belarusian. You should react their song "Ach Ty Ptaszku", this one is polish, I send you link to official audio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaiuknSqZ9Cee5I This type of singing is typical for most slavic countries in folk music. And you mean "Witcher" series vibes? You know, "Witcher" is a polish book based on slavic kulture and mythology. Long time ago I recommended you amazing japanese artist Kokia. She has classical and operatic music education, but only in few songs she singing more operatic. With operatic singing, can you react her song "Il Mare Dei Suoni" live version from History concert tour 2012? If you don't want operatic singing, please react song "Chouwa Oto ~With Reflection~" from the same concert. I recommended her really long time ago... Can you react her? Please.

[@OstblockLatina]

This singing technique (also called "white voice" - having nothing to do with anyone's skin tone) is characteristic for the simple people of the farmlands and - as its sound is really far-reaching and rather loud (even though the ladies above didn't master it even half as well as actual country folk singers) - was developed primarily to be used as a way of calling one another across large distances when in the fields doing actual work. Also, the lyrics of the songs aren't usually greatly philosophical, they usually revolve around nature, man on woman business etc.

МОВА 🏳❤🏳 - БЕЛАРУСЬ- НЕЗАЛЕЖНАСЦЬ-ВЕРА БАЦЬКОЎ; АЛЬБО СМЕРЦЬ "8 чэрвеня 1933 г. сакратар ЦК КП(б)Б Мікалай Гікала і старшыня СНК БССР Мікалай Галадзед атрымалі сакрэтны ліст з Нараўлянскага раёна. Непісьменная пісулька на беларускай мове, у якой мясцовыя кіраўнікі скардзіліся на страшэнны голад у сваім раёне: “На гэтых днях (2 чэрвеня) меў мейсца з рада вон выходзячы факт: гр. в. Ціхін (Акопскага сельсавету) Сікорская ноччу зарэзала свайго 9-гадовага дзіцяці. Частку ўнутранасцей пасьпела паесьці, назаўтра ўтопіла другога дзіцяці і памерла сама ад істошчэньня”. Такі жудасны факт прыводзілі нараўлянскія начальнікі і слёзна заканчвалі сваё пасланне: “Без сур’ёзнай дапамогі рэспубліканскага цэнтру абысціся не зможам”. "Такое ж бядотнае становішча было і ў суседнім Ельскім раёне, аб чым чэкісты рапартавалі ў Менск. У 200 сем’ях з 250 аднаасобных гаспадарак дзеці і дарослыя апухлі ад голаду, за два месяцы з-за схуднення памерла 20 чалавек. “Аднаасобнік хутара Рэдзька Калодзей Мікіта, каб не бачыць пакуты галоднай сям’і, запёр у хаце жонку і трох малалетніх дзяцей, забіў наглуха дзверы і вокны, пасля чаго сам некуды знік. Жонка і двое дзяцей Калодзея ўжо памерлі, аднаго малога выратавалі суседзі. У в.Меляшковічы ўдава Ціханава Ульяна з голаду кінула траіх дзяцей і сышла няведама куды”, - прыводзілі жудасныя прыклады чэкісты. На Гомельшчыну з Менска выехала спецыяльная камісія для праверкі фактаў. 21 чэрвеня Бюро ЦК КП(б)Б занесла ў пратакол: у Ельскім і Нараўлянскім раёнах мор закрануў да 60 працэнтаў насельніцтва. Людзі ядуць не толькі “ліпавае лісце, верас, мох і мякіну, а ў некаторых гаспадарках нават катоў, сабак і конскую падаль”. Сталічныя таварышы вымушаны былі прызнаць факт канібалізму: “У в. Акопы… жонка бедняка, пайшоўшага на працу ў горад, вярнулася дадому і знайшла свайго сына Валодзю мёртвым, адрэзала ногі дзіцяці і зварыла са шчаўем. Паела шчаўя сама і пакарміла другое дзіцянё. Назаўтра памерла сама і другое дзіцё”.
