This is what the book is predominantly about: about how landscapes shape us, how trees give us verticals and lakes give us depths, how spring greenery teaches us optimism, and summer rivers teach us generosity. Simple knowledge that helps appreciate every voice heard in the morning.

The first thing I noticed when I started playing the album was that I was intently listening to the lyrics. It's nice because it does not happen that often. This is important – because not only the sound matters, because semantic vibrations also weigh, and emptiness is very different from pauses. Moreover, one immediately notices the quality..

I do not even know whether I should refer to Illya's music as complicated one. Objectively, presumably, yes – although, to my mind, its flow and development in every play is so natural, easy that the architecture just steps back to the background. Because in his hands the music matter stops being an abstract idea – it comes back to life..

Is the studio version different from the concert one? No doubt. Without disclosing all secrets, it is enough to say that it remains up to date to go beyond one language and one culture. In my opinion, the album represents the Ukrainian music, but the music which is done by the new generation. It is the product of the new world. The entire world.

Alambari is a 'stained glass' album, where one can easily discover echoes of all the previous pieces, even echoes of the younger Dakh Daughters. So one can look through the individual songs/fragments and catch colored flashbacks. Or one can take in this picture in its entirety, totally – and there is a chance that in this case you will discover a new DakhaBrakha. A familiar stranger.
