Бойківська ладканка ☀️ Ukrainian | Boiko folk music

Бойківська ладканка (Boiko wedding ladkanka) - Ukrainian (Boiko) folk music. Boikos (Boykos) are ancient Ukrainian ethnic group in the Carpathian mountains (the Ukrainian tribe of Carpathian Croats / White Croats). Carpathian Croats formed itself as result of Slavic-Sarmatian mixture (Sarmatians here being extremely superstitious and very "serious" people exercized influence in the religious pagan sphere), yet before the adoption of Chritsianity. Iranic Scytho-Sarmatians (otherwise known as Alans, same people and language as modern Ossetians) were pagan sun-worshippers. That's why main Boiko symbol still today is solar rosette (looks like a flower, it is also common symbol among Ossetians today). Bull (Aurochs, ox) culture is also from Sarmatians (popular animal symbol in Ossetia too), just as Boiko wood carving, leather coats and leather embroidery, special hats, ax, sheep breeding, long tables, circle dances with drumming and a lot of foot hitting / stamping, peculiar drinking culture, highly superstitious beliefs, some words (like boiko "legin" / "legi" in ossetian, meaning boy, man), vatra (bonfire), warlike culture (boiko means fighter) - these are all very ancient Iranic Sarmatian cultural (also ancient Aryan) elements, common to Boikos and Ossetians, among the most ancient groups on the continent. Mountains were sacred and highly venerated places to Scytho-Sarmatians, and perhaps among Carpathian Croats, Boikos were this religious Sarmatian priestly class, as most of wooden Sarmatian (just as Ossetian-Alan) temples were upon the mountain tops and mountain plains - places of divine - human communication. Slavic influence was more strong on the plains to the north of the Carpathians - in direction of plains of Volynia and Polish lowlands. Same group of proto-Serbo-Croatians tribes (a great mixture of several tribes from great parts of Ukraine) later moved westwards to Czecho-Slovakia, Lusatia and south to the Balkans. Only Ukrainians, Upper Sorbs and Czechoslovaks preserved Scytho-Sarmatian "h" (as in Ossetian "hohag" - mountainier) - thats why these languages are classified as Central-Slavic languages (the right groupping, instead of the politisized existing one, you find in wikipedia). Uniqueness of Boikos is in that they have one of the highest (in Europe) percentage of haplogroup T (mtDNA) at 30 % (found much among European nobility and royal dynasties - seems to be noble Aryan / Nart caste element) and only 20% of H (mtDNA), the least H amount among all Slavic people. They also have 5 % of N and 5 % of R haplogroups and these two are not found among other Ukrainians at all but found among Romanians at range of 1,9 % only though. They might be most closely related to the oldest inhabitants of the Carpathians. See chart:

About Boykos: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyko
Bojka (Бојка) is also the mythical homeland of the ancestors of the Serbs. Boyko wooden houses (colored white stripes) do look same as those of Lusatian Serbs. Also - vic (-vych) is common last name ending among Boikos, just as among Serbo-Croats. Worth noting that Stepan Bandera, "icon" Ukrainian nationalist military figure, much ideolized in Ukraine, was from Boikos, just as cossack hetman Sahaydachny (Konashevych) and Orthodox miracleworking saint and metropolitan St. Paul (Koniuskevych), burried in Kyiv Caves monastery was also Boiko.

Lubię taki archaiczny skład instrumentalny, archaiczne basy, na Mazowszu podobny skład instrumentów był tradycyjnie.

Excellent!

Zakharii, thank you for the long post (or should I say spasibo or perhaps multsumesc or djenkuje vam?) Fascinating. I have ever been thankful for MOUNTAINS for protecting small enclaves of folk lodged in remote valleys. By the way, "vatra" is considered by the Romanians to be one of the remaining Dacian words in their vocabulary.

Thanks for the English explanations. Any additional information/pictures/music about the Boikos would be greatly appreciated. Also, prior to 1947, wasn't there a smaller group of "Polish Boikos" that were forcibly exiled under the "Vistula Action"? Any information why they were exiled (this was after the war), and what happened to them?

[@MasiukA]

Why all the aryan nonsense in the description? Aryan is a linguistic group encompassing many cultures and genetic populations.
