Perennial EP by Olena Kolibaba

Why perennial? Source of inspiration for this EP is a search for grounding, belonging and stability during the phase of extended transition.
I have been experimenting with my style and came up with this mini set - a blend of original pieces and arrangements inspired by traditional music of a few distinctive world cultures.
It is not a surprise that a lot of understanding of our present selves dives deep into the past, into the roots of each individual. And while this belonging separates the majority of us by significant amount of characteristics, the world is a giant boiling bowl where everything is related to everything at all times. Current technologies provide us with an opportunity to learn about our physical history and see this unity for ourselves (dna studies etc) but I believe there are so many more invisible, spiritual webs that unite humanity…

Watch videos for “Kalimera” and “Mama” on YouTube. I was also blessed to have a chance to film it in the Vancouver rainforest, beautiful Pacific coast of Canada.
