Ah Noo, Eyleyluk! (Kereshen Tatar Song)
A few years back someone told me of Christian Tatars. I told him, "Those are NOT Tatars". The Volga / Kazan Tatars I know are predominantly Sunni Muslim. I discovered how wrong I was and that Kreshen/Christian Tatars are in fact very Tatar and they have a slightly different accent and mode of dress. Their songs are beautiful.
