- Lithuanian together with Latvian and Old Prussian are the oldest languages in the Indo-European world. Despite the fact that Lithuanians didn’t find yet whole set of old runes, manuscripts or other written documents in Old Lithuanian, this culture is very rich in its songs and traditions. Lithuanian song is the best written and audio- document that represents melancholic and philosophical side of 4,5 million (2,89 million in Lithuania) people, who can call themselves Lithuanians. ESATIS (being, das Sein) takes a deep voyage into Lithuanian ethno/world/neofolk music and uses only Lithuanian folklore songs for this wonderful album.
It takes 50 minutes to listen to 10 songs and compositions of “Vanduo. Molis. Medis” (Water. Clay. Wood) which are named and sung only in Lithuanian: 1 Vanduo. Molis. Medis 2 Ir Išėjo 3 Leidos Saulelė 4 Šaltinis 5 Šiltkeliu Pančiuotas 6 Gale Lauko Vienasėdis 7 Liūsta Mano Širdelė 8 Žalioj Girioj 9 Bebalsis 10 Sulig Saule Esatis is a music band conveying the idea of here and now, it embraces old Lithuanian folk traditions, language and worldview of various music genres. The band was formed in 2015 Klaipėda, Lithuania. The band's core members are the locally well-known ethno, electronic and experimental music author Donatas Bielkauskas (Donis) and the percussionist and drummer Viktoras Rubežas. Later the concept was enriched by the singer Elena Trečiokaitė, the bass player Paulius Stonkus and the guitarist Mentas Remesa.
