A Koleda (winter holiday) carol for the young woman of the house.

“Milka’s mother boasted about Milka: Hey Koleda, my Koleda!
‘She is so industrious, and very stylish too!’ Milka’s fame spread all the way to Istanbul, to the marketplace, and to Marko, the merchant. Marko loaded his boat with silk, silver, and gold thread. Young and old came to see his wares—last of all came beautiful Milka. When Milka stepped aboard to buy silk, Marko closed the hatch and carried her off.”

The Kitka Remix Project is an exciting project designed to cultivate co-creativity through unexpected collaborations with sound artists in all genres. We aim to expose the unique and unusual sounds of Kitka to new audiences through encouraging creative remixes of existing Kitka recordings.

Whether your favorite music genre is techno, indie-rock, folk, classical, world, hip-hop, experimental, jazz… or if you simply love to tinker in Garageband, we invite you to mix your creative voice with Kitka’s! Anyone can participate! You don't need to be a musician or have fancy software. Learn more and listen to the whole Wintersongs Remix Playlist at [ Ссылка ]
