The "Niezabudki" Authentic Folk Group from Halavienčycy Village, Čavusy District, Mahilioǔ Region

During the summer expedition of the Student Ethnographic Association in Čavusy district (Mahilioǔ region) actual condition of the "Niezabudki"authentic group was monitored. Singing and dancing style they represent is protected by the state as an element of intangible cultural heritage of Belarus. At the time of taking the element under the protection there were 8 singers in the group. As of August 2014 the group left 4 people. Old women sing ritual and non-ritual songs, can fully describe traditional wedding of their area. There are too little dancers, but they remember the movements of the dances and can show them to youth.
