Poranných

Poranných is a term that refers to a type of traditional folk music specific to the Russian Far East region. The word itself means "forest dweller" in Russian, which accurately reflects the genre's association with the indigenous people of the region.

The history of Poranných music dates back to the early 20th century, when it was created by the local Ainu and Nivkh people. These indigenous groups were known for their unique cultures and musical styles, which were shaped by their harsh environment and traditional ways of life. The music of Poranných is characterized by its use of folk instruments such as the glass harmonica, the balalaika, and the quartz flute.

One of the distinctive features of Poranných music is its somber and contemplative tone, which reflects the harsh climate and the struggle for survival that characterized life in the Russian Far East. The music is often accompanied by traditional dances, which involve ritualistic movements and gestures. The lyrics of Poranných songs typically deal with themes of nature, love, and the struggles of everyday life.

Over time, the Poranných tradition has influences from various cultures, including Russian, Korean, and Chinese. However, the core elements of the genre remain rooted in the traditional music and cultural practices of the regional indigenous people. Today, Poranných music is considered an important part of the cultural heritage of the Russian Far East, and it continues to be performed and celebrated by communities throughout the region.
