Yekteniya III

Batushka - Yekteniya III (Live in San Salvador, 2024) 🎵
Step into the mystical realm of Batushka as they perform ‘Yekteniya III’-a profound liturgical piece that transcends earthly boundaries. Sung entirely in Church Slavonic, this track is part of their album ‘Litourgiya.’ The band members, shrouded in religious habits and Eastern Orthodox schemas, conceal their identities during live performances.
‘Yekteniya III’ is a prayer-a litany-spoken from the perspective of God. The lyrics, originally based on the Trisagion Hymn, are turned inside out, with the vocalist addressing the listener on behalf of the divine. The haunting melodies and reverent atmosphere draw you into a sacred space where wisdom and forgiveness intertwine.
Recorded in San Salvador by Alvaro Castro on August 8, 2024, this performance captures the essence of Batushka’s enigmatic artistry. 🌟🕊️
