Black Raven (Chiorny Voron) - Sepia version

One of Marc’s favourite Russian folk songs, telling the story of a warrior and his bargain with Death. Like so many Russian folk songs it expresses deep emotion and can be viewed as sorrowful or joyous - a surrender to death from pain. Translation by Misha Kucherenko and Marc Almond. Piano and clarinet by Andrei Samsonov. Video by Jamie Mcleod and Gerry McNee (Itchy Ear Music)
