Ko Gi Ūžia Tie Sodeliai | Why The Orchards Weep - Ancient Lithuanian War Song by Ugniavijas

Ancient Lithuanian war song “Ko gi ūžia tie sodeliai“ (Why the orchards weep) performed by Lithuanian band Ugniavijas. This song is originated from the Southern Lithuania (Dzūkija region) and it brings a truly fascinating story full of hidden symbols and meanings about what happens in the afterlife of the fallen soldier. This is a live acoustic performance from the band’s concert in January 16th 2021 in the opening of the exhibition named “A Nation Skilled in War. The Lithuanian Military Elite in the 13th–14th Centuries“. The exhibition is organised by the National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.
