White linen

is a frequent motive in Serbian folk songs.
As a symbol of purity, white linen follows a man through life:
at birth, he is swaddled in it;
at his baptism – wrapped in it;
at his wedding – bound by it;
as a wedding guest – presented with it;
during his life he wears it, and is finally shrouded in it.

The musical arrangements for group performances are based on fields researches and other audio recordings. The songs are sung in local Serbian dialects.
Today the group “Belo Platno” is made up of individuals – artists on a joint quest for beauty.
