preserving true European culture, which the catholic church has been attempting to suppress for at least 1000 years

@jeffoh92 Thats one of the really good things about Europe. We have huge history and endless source of tales, legends and songs like this. My country (Bulgaria) is 1200 years old and one of the things I like about it is our unique folklore, fairytales, legends and music. On the other hand America is place where all cultures meet and you can have access to all this different people and theyr roots. Just look around and Im sure youll find a lot of interesting stuff to listen to! ;)

@worldmessagemusic ...remainders of old Litva and the word "Belarusians" was created. Before that Belarusians were known as litvians and in fact were slovaic (unlike Lithuanians). If you don't believe - just check the map of Grand Duchy and also query what language was the government language used in diplomatic correspondence.But bottom line -with all ethnic differences we used to be part of one nation. Belarusians and Lithuanians should unite again under one herb of Great Litvian Warriors.

Baltvilks I'm sorry to say brother, but at the time the country of Belarus was called Litva and modern Lithuanians were a small part presented by the tribes of Zemaitis .
Belarusian were even referred as "rusians" (not rusSians") to empathise the slovaic origins by Moskas (modern Russians). The problem with our history is that after 1st WW we were under Russian occupation, while Lithuanians managed to form the new republic- Lithuania,and thus kept the name.Belarus was created on the remainders

i love how Folk tales in Music live on to this modern day.
at least where i live (the US), we are losing our roots, our traditional Musical stylings, our tales of old, created from American Imagination and from where ever we our Herritage traces to.
i Commend Stary Olsa for keeping traditions of old alive, and i hope America tries to keep theirs alive too.
