Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Bardlandia continues the Crimean tradition of bard music festivals. The event emphasizes original Russian-language folk songs (often called “bard songs”) and communal music-making. Held at an open-air camp site, it fosters a sense of creative fellowship. Local bard clubs organize it to keep alive Soviet-era “author song” culture integrated with Crimean folk themes (e.g. mountain scenery of Demerdzhi).
