Sharerhythm
Musical composition from new coming soon album by HAGAUJ based on ancient Circassian texts and melodies. Experimental journey to ancient Circassian culture by means of modern digital ways of creating music.
This song consists of three parts essentially connected to each other.
First part is the theme of the battle of riders and foot warriors. Both sides were unarmed and foot standing men should strike out the horsemen with their long sticks, with a purpose not to let them get inside the yard, where the wedding took a place.
Second part is a variation of Circassian wedding songs and the last is totally dedicated to a Sherytym.
Sherytym - the name of the hero of Nart epic sagas. The symbol of “geguako” - the man who rules and keeps ancient traditional sagas and ritual dances. Also he who can turn himself to any form of nature. The most remarkable is a form of hazhighafa - goat headed dancer. Old Circassian musicians used to wear the masks to take a part in ceremonies weddings celebrations. This character strongly connected to a agricultural cults.
