19 Jul 00 - 07:01 AM (#260648) Subject: Another cd/tape search From: sledge After the success of my last request for help I thought why not push my luck, do it again. Most of the net searched so far has been of no use. I am looking to replace a recording given to me by a Ukrainien friend of a female singer who I only remember as Maria (last name defeats me). The songs are Ukrainien folk songs largely suppressed in the Soviet eara. The tape I had was printed in Canada about 92/93 I think. My girlfriend did not like it so when we moved house.... Anyway, grateful for any help offered. Cheers Sledge |

That's more likely to attract the attention of people who know about things that have been recorded in Ukranian. Best of luck. |

20 Jul 00 - 02:33 AM (#261393) Subject: RE: Another cd/tape search From: Lepus Rex Sledge, there's a Ukrainian singer named Maria Burmaka, who released an album (in Canada!)called 'Maria.' Does that ring a bell? Here's what else I found... Here's the address for her Canadian record label... Yevshan Corporation Box 325 Beaconsfield, Quebec Canada H9W5T8 Here's her 'unofficial homepage,' which is full of info, pictures (kinda cute...) and a discography of all her tapes...but the text is in friggin' Cyrillic, so good luck. Here's a site with what's supposed to be a sound clip of her's, but I couldn't get it to work...What in Hell is an mp2? And it's got a big clickable picture of her. Ah, well... Hope that helps (if it's even the same Ukrainian Maria, hehe) :) ---Lepus Rex |

Here's some info one Maria from that Yevshan site, where you can buy her stuff on cd: "Maria Burmaka presents a more pop-oriented set of songs and ballads. Her delicate vocals are accompanied by guitar, percussion and violin. Arrangements are very interesting, somewhat reminiscent of the "Enya" style and provide fine easy-listening material. Contains: Rozliuby, De ty teper, Tykha voda, Povernutys' nazad, and more... A new sound for this young artist!" OK, I'm done now;) And it'll turn out to be the WRONG one, I bet. ---Lepus Rex |

20 Jul 00 - 03:10 AM (#261406) Subject: RE: Another cd/tape search From: sledge HI Lepus, That the girly indeed. Take ten brownie points, go to the top of the class. Soon My girlfriend can "enjoy" it all over again. Maria's material deffinatley has a pop aspect to it, but it stays clear of being standard Ukrainien/Russian pop which has to be seen to be believed, it is very very bad. Her voice has a gravely texture which suits the material well, not sure about it being Enya-ish. Whatever, I enjoy even if I can only pick out every tenth word. Again many thanks. Cheers, Sledge |
