Diary page 007 – Ored Recordings – Aslan Tashu (voice message) by Radio Fantasia published on 2023-02-02T10:07:31Z Self-awareness occurs even deeper for us when we accept our identity, not as a single point, as a place where many borders, languages and elements intersect. So instead of chasing a “pure pagan” heritage, over time we decided to abandon the imposed stereotypes about originality, antiquity and greatness. Instead, the label decided to adopt different sides of Circassian music: not only the epic and songs of the War of independence from the Russian Empire, but also Islamic chants- zachirs, wedding dance tunes and even a late Soviet chanson from Adygea. And even ethno-pop, which used to cause rejection, requires reflection and acceptance today. Because being Circassians for us is to abandon the cultural hierarchy and give space to different people. The space that was taken away from our people in the 19th century and the hierarchy that was imposed on us. АдыгэбзэкIи сыпсалъэми, урысыбзэр къасщтэми - тIум щыгъуи сыадыгэ.
