ONLINE THE OFFICIAL VIDEO OF THE NEW SONG "KALINUSHKA" BY MARIA MATVEEVA & DEEP FOREST
Song "KALINUSHKA" it's a third chapter from EP "SIBERIAN TRILOGY PROJECT" by Maria Matveeva & Deep Forest.
“Kalinushka” was inspired by an old cantilena or traditional song that Maria’s great-grandmother used to sing to her.
The piece holds great folkloric and hereditary importance, based on the single verse handed down through Maria’s family tree, to all the generations of women.
The tune reflects the pre-revolutionary charm of traditional Russia and recounts the bitter fate suffered by the women of the era, who experienced an overwhelming lack of freedom, not even able to choose their own husbands.
However, Maria takes the cantilena and makes it her own, adding new lyrics to the song; Maria’s version tells of the strength of people overcoming their difficulties, becoming masters of their own destinies.
This is the story of women's fate in two time periods. Many elements of this video are symbolic. So, the mirror is one of them, it connects two realities - the past and the present.
The heroine sees a dream that transfers her to another reality. Returning to her past, she changes the fatal course of events, finding freedom of choice in the present."
