Dunuly Vetry
A Cossack folk song reimagined in a modern folk-electronic interpretation by Dubrava Next
Origin of the Track
There are songs that are simply sung. And there are songs born in fire — at the intersection of worlds, breaking every established pattern.
Dunuly Vetry became exactly that for us — our first studio release and the beginning of our journey into folk-electronic music.
Recorded by Anatoly Viktorovich Glinkin in the village of Katenino, Varna district, Chelyabinsk region, Russia.
Collision of eras: folk grief and a Berlin-inspired rhythm
At the core of this song lies a centuries-old emotional narrative — a bride’s longing and farewell, and a mother’s silent grief as she says goodbye to her daughter forever.
We preserved this raw folk text and placed it into a cold, rhythmic electronic structure inspired by Berlin’s underground scene and the aesthetic influence of Fler.
The result is a collision of worlds: ancient Russian emotional tradition meets modern European electronic sound.
A cinematic vision
The song evolved into more than music — it became a visual story. A dark narrative about love, fate, and interference beyond human control.
A village girl is in love. The feeling is mutual. But a shaman watches from the shadows, altering their destiny.
The shaman’s voice
To deepen the atmosphere, our friend Türgen Kam contributed throat singing, becoming the voice of the shaman — a force that disrupts human fate.
His deep, vibrating vocal texture merges with electronic rhythm and folk melody, creating a tense and emotionally charged soundscape.
A manifesto
Dunuly Vetry is our manifesto: a story about love versus fate, and ancient magic colliding with the modern world.
It is a fragment of our identity, transformed into music and cinema.
Watch it. Listen to it. Feel it.
