Stary Olsa (Belarusian: Стары Ольса) is a Belarusian medieval folk band. Stary Olsa plays medieval Belarusian music of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[1]
Stary Olsa is one of the few Belarusian bands enjoying popularity outside Belarus.[2] The band has received numerous positive critical reviews.[3] They are also known for covering modern rock tracks using their medieval instruments, and released a cover album, via a Kickstarter campaign, in 2016.[4]
The band was founded in 1999 by Źmicier Sasnoŭski. [1]
The name Stary Olsa means "Old Olsa", where Olsa is a left tributary of Berezina in Mogilev Oblast, Belarus.[1][5]
