Ebba Polka (Єбба Полька) — Lemko folk
A Lemko polka from the Carpathian Mountains, home of our program. The Lemkos are a Carpatho-Rusyn people of the Carpathians in Poland, Slovakia and western Ukraine. First recorded in Ukraine in 1928, the tune crossed the ocean to the Corn Belt and became American folk in Nebraska and Kentucky, where it is still known as a tune of Ukrainian origin — like “Shchedryk”, the carol the U.S. knows as “Carol of the Bells”. Performed live by Eric Eid-Reiner, Club Passim, 2009.
