Opika Performance Group at Smithsonian Folklife Festival on July 11, 2011

In college, I studied Russian for two years and went through a phase where I loved anything Eastern European...still do to this day! Quote from Smithsonian website: "Perechyn, the small Western Ukrainian town where the Opika Performance Group was founded, lies at the crossroads of traditions from the Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, and Poland, as well as from the local Lemkiv and Roma people."
