Halfway there! Here's a daina download to show our thanks!
Dear friends,
We made it! To 50% that is - we still have a long way to go. But in the mean time, let's celebrate!
As promised, to show my deep gratitude for your support, I have digitally released one of the močiutės' songs for you to download, sing along to, and share to your heart's content. I chose an untitled daina that belongs to one of the oldest and richest genres, the raudos, or laments. This particular daina is a "wedding lament," and it contains many layers of history, including imagery from ancient Baltic mythology. You can listen to and download the track, plus find more info and lyrics, on Soundcloud here:

I had a tough time choosing between this daina and one of my favorites, the unofficial anthem of Puvočiai, "Puvočių Daina," written by the močiutės themselves. I first heard the Puvočių Daina back in 2005, and the melody haunted me for years, until I finally heard it again this past fall. I want to share it with you, so here's the plan: We reach 75%, and I'll release the track - along with some other treats! Let's do this!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your enthusiasm and support.
Happy listening!
Yours truly,
Nuoširdžiai,
Aldona
