New Belarusian-language pop mixtape by Andy Vazyanau

We continue the good August tradition: to publish mixtapes of Belarusian music. This time we present to your attention a collection of new Belarusian-language pop, which was carefully collected by Andrei Vazyanau from the Vapna band.

«The 2020s brought not only upheavals to Belarus but also many new songs in the Belarusian language. Belarusian-speaking music increasingly expands beyond folk, metal, and rock, into pop, hip-hop, indie, soul and other popular styles.

This explorative mix focuses on softer tunes and introduces lesser-known Belarusian musicians, based both within and outside the country».
