Another track by them :-



Thanks for sharing your recommendations, Yarina. :)

Nice folk song :yeah:
Glad you enjoyed them :)

Ukrainian black metal band Drudkh released a strictly folk album right here. An acoustic masterpiece, calming, relaxing, a comforting in a strange way

I really love Elsa's Ocean)) They are beautiful)))) Their songs are amazing)

Haydamaky

Onuka is my favorite Ukrainian act lately. My favorite song of theirs is "1986", from the album "Vidlik", released last year. The music talks (subliminally) about the disaster that happened in Pripyat back then. Ironically, the video for this track was released in the same day that the incident completed 30 years.

.

That might be the wrongest use of "ironically" I've seen in quite some time.

I might check it out!

I hold a grudge against Ukranian, until they release the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 game they are keeping hostage.

I need it.

Beloved Onuka... Wish I would see Ms Zhizhchenko in Warsaw one day (I have skipped one opportunity, sadly)...

Ukrainian folk metal is also worth to be mentioned. Here's the song of the group already disbanded, I think due to reasons related with inner argues. The band used to be named Chur (ЧУР) and was deeply related with pre-Christian heritage of Ukrainian lands. Pretty nice concept, although the quality of sound was, to put it gently, below the expectations:

Somebody mentioned Haydamaky as well. Their mix of Cossacks music, ska and punk rock is marvelous indeed. But they're quite open to other languages and traditions, too. Here's the one of the songs from their newest album, in which Polish traveler and writer, Andrzej Stasiuk, reads the poem of Adam Mickiewicz, one of the most notables poets in Polish literature. The poem names "The Grasslands of Akkerman" (Stepy akermańskie). Take a hear of it, please:

Novaya Scena?
 

Saw Zhanteimi posting in "listenin now"-thread the Svitlana Nianio "Kytytsi" album, and thought I'd want to discuss it. I really played that album to bits a few years back, really fell in love with it! And now I found this thread here and became dissapointed that no one seems to have mentioned any of these 90's "Novaya scena" acts of the Ukrainian underground. There are really some great stuff in there, with Kytytsi being the absolute best imo (recently re-released on polish KOKA Records). Kazma-Kazma and Yarn are two other acts that I put much liking in, and also Cukor Bila Smert (which involved Svitlana Nianio).
So what do you guys think of the scene? Anyone into it?

Onuku song and how Jessy Lanza's sounds a bit like it:

there is an opinion that Gershvin's Summertime is inspired by this Ukrainian lullaby
