Bakota and the Submerged Villages of Podnistrovya

This section is dedicated to the traditional Dniester wedding ritual songs that accompanied various stages of the wedding — from the matchmaking to the wedding ceremony. Each song held its own symbolic meaning, reflecting the emotions of the bride and groom and their families, as well as expressing wishes for happiness, health, and harmony.

The song repertoire included melodic blessings, farewell songs sung by the bride, and festive songs for the guests. Together, these songs helped create the unique atmosphere of a wedding in the Podnistrovya region, blending joy, tradition, and community spirit.
