Folk Box: Vepsy

Each week Olga Shapovalova offers to folk music lovers a multicoloured display of customs and traditions, legends and tales, melodies and rythms of Russia.

Russia is a home for many million-strong peoples and tiny ethnic minorities. The people we are going to speak of, Vepsy, living in the north-western part Russia number slightly over 8,000.
