Folk group "Trys keturiose" is singing a traditional polyphonic Lithuanian song about a conversation with a personified apple tree. This was an introduction to the first lecture of the conference where the lecturer supposed that straw ornaments that are known in Lithuania as "sodai", in Latvia as "puzuri", in Finland as "himmeli" were conceived as a symbol of the mythical World Tree. // Grupė "Trys keturiose" gieda tradicinę lietuvių liaudies sutartinę kultūros ministerijos baltojoje salėje per pirmosios tarptautinės konferencijos apie šiaudų sodus atidarymą.

Where have you been growing?
