Partly Belgian experimental folk collective drawing on Lithuanian folk & classical minimalism...
'Naktės' (Nights) is an album by Merope, a group largely centred around the singing and kanklės playing by Lithuanian Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė. The collective is a prime example of Lithuanian folk influences finding a firm place in the worldwide ocean of experimental folk music.
By exploring Lithuanian folk songs, using ancient heritage and building new compositions around them they transform timeless folk songs into deep personal explorations.
