Taarka

塔尔卡是一个流浪女民歌手，终生住在一个小茅屋里，作为一个贫困的未婚母亲，她靠乞讨、干杂活和唱歌为生。她歌唱现实，有时痛苦、有时滑稽、有时残酷。塔尔卡歌唱着她不平凡的生活，她的歌声从小村庄中飘出，传到了世界各地。她的歌唱得如此之好， 使她成为了一个传奇——真正的民歌之母。但遗憾的是作为一个女人，作为她生活的村庄的一分子，塔尔卡从未被村民们真正接受过。这就是塔尔卡——一个被人鄙视女人同时又是一名被人崇拜的歌手。 　　The folk singer Hilana Taarka, a woman who lived her whole life as an outcast in a small chimneyless hut; as an unmarried mother of children in poverty, begging her bread, doing odd jobs and singing. She always sang the truth, sometimes bitter, sometimes funny, sometimes cruel. She was feared, despised and coveted. Taarka sang throughout her remarkable life, throughout her fate, from a small Seto village to international fame. And she sang well. Really well. Taarka became the Mother of the Song, a legend. But as a woman, as a member of the community, the Seto people never really accepted her. Taarka – a despised woman and a worshipped singer.
