For any questions: [email protected] "Vedan Kolod" composes its own material, but it is based on recent research and analysis carried out by archaeologists and folklore specialists, interpreting events in ancient, pagan Russia before the coming of Christians coming. Vedan Kolod shows the culture of original Russian traditions and songs. During its history, "Vedan Kolod" had revived numerous almost forgotten Russian folk instruments – gusli, ocarina, Slavonic drums, Scythian horn, sharkuncy and others, - restored, mastered and reconstructed by musical master Valerii Naryshkin. All these ancient kinds of instruments are used actually in a program of the band, as well as a low throat style of singing which existed in Ancient Russia. All songs are played without any electronic processing, just live.
