CCX Cross Cultural X-periment - Oj Spala Ja Na Sini
IX. Oj Spala Ja Na Sini

Traditional Carpatho-Russyn song arranged by Alexander Fedoriouk


"Oj Spala Ja Na Sini" translates as "I was sleeping in a haystack..”. This version is a contemporary take on a traditional folk song from the Carpathian region.

"...Did you ever sleep in a haystack? Get woken up suddenly with a beautiful girl singing a vaguely American-sounding tune that is somehow traditional at the same time? The trumpets and bass guitar are as jazzy as the U.S. of A., yet somehow the piece remains definitely Carpatho-Russyn..."
