ABOUT THE ALBUM


In post-Ottoman Macedonia, in the early decades of the 20th century immigrants flooded American shores in search of better future and greater freedoms.


Leaving their wives and newborn behind, they left by the hundreds, sent off with songs and dances that are forever impregnated on the Macedonian cultural memory. But hearing them, every American would identify with the emotions, the longing for love lost, the hope for a better life, the expectation of return… These songs are emotionally powerful, heart breaking, indelible, unforgettable.


Through these new musical arrangements that have been inspired by the original Macedonia folk melodies, PARTINGS is a glimpse into that era, a brief moment of temporary immigrant wave of Macedonian men to the US, that documents a brief period of Macedonian immigrant history and adds to the universal ethnic musical memory.


The theme of immigration and immigrant life has been present in the shaping of America and has remained a powerful reality in today’s American consciousness, PARTINGS is now another link in the story of American immigrant life.

But hearing them, every American would identify with the emotions, the longing for love lost, the hope for a better life, the expectation of return… These songs are emotionally powerful, heart breaking, indelible, unforgettable.

Through its 10 new musical arrangements, that have been inspired by the original Macedonia folk melodies, Partings is a glimpse into that era, a brief moment of temporary immigrant wave of Macedonian men to the US, that documents a brief period of Macedonian immigrant history and adds to the universal ethnic musical memory.

The theme of immigration and immigrant life has been present in the shaping of America and has remained a powerful reality in today’s American consciousness. Though our collective associations with immigration we have all contributed to the American dream of freedom and liberty.

These themes are defined though all art forms and they all bring powerful emotions and recollections.
