Today's program focuses on the traditional folk music of Eastern Europe and the Balkans and the music it has influenced. Our first album "Balastroika" comes from the Russian balalaika-and-domra folk instrumental ensemble, Skaz. Our second album is "The Wild Field" from the Dmitri Pokorovsky Ensemble. It features the songs of Russia's Boyar's Children, Sayan Peasants, Nekrasov Cossacks and Old Believers. Our third album, the eponymous album of the Goran Ivanovic Group, draws its inspiration from the music of the Balkan countries of Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Serbia. The final album of this week's program signifies a return to Russia and the United States with "Krai" from Olga Bell, an American composer, producer and performer born in Moscow, raised in Alaska and based in Brooklyn. The word "krai" is a Russian noun meaning "edge, brink, border, frontier, hinterland."
