OYME
Russia
OYME - translated from Erzyan (one of the Mordovian languages), oyme means soul. Like a soul, the music of "Oyme" is multifaceted and contradictory. The repertoire of the group consists of folk songs and "lamentations" in Mordovian languages: Erzyan, Mokshan and Shokshan, a dialect of Erzyan; and Dagestani languages: Avar, Dargin and Lak. Modern progressive sound envelops Russian folklore as thinly and transparently as the fog that covers the fields like the exhalation of the earth at dawn.
