Eduard Drach. Nebo Ukrajiny.
Today Edward Drach is well known poet, the author of songs. In the certain sense he can be called the bard. But not with usual definition for the post-Soviet space. More likely, he can be called the modern continuer of the Kobzar’s traditions, unique Ukrainian bard. At least, he sings his songs accompanied by as guitars, as kobza sometimes. Moreover, his songs’ texts do also have a retrospective character. Edward Drach appeals to the Kyivska Rus history either in strict historical or at a poetic foreshortening at least in this album. Actually, that is what he us a poet for. More precisely - the bard. That is the person capable to fill his works with any sacral things, to bear from his mind any signs, codes, rhythms. So, we shall deal with the truth not historical (and what is this)but subjective one here. It is not one to be argue with. It can either answer to the internal validity of the listener – or not . You yave to check it up by your own.

Vjacheslav Hursenko. Sokolyata. /cassette/.


Audio cassette/ ..He is a successor of a certain art tradition, a performer with his own face and style. With a nice face and a clear style.

Ihor Bilyi. Ya – ne lyalka. /digi-pack/. (I Am Not a Puppet)


Actually, this is the author's album – Igor Bily is the author of all the lyrics, and he did not organize any band to that end. All the songs are for two guitars. Concise, clear, and simple enough. However, the key emphasis is still on the lyrics – it is worth listening, hearing, and understanding. Attentive songs are always relevant.

Volodymyr Shynkaruk. Shestystrunnyy doshch. Vam, molodym... (Six-String Rain. For you, the young...)


...if the inner world of a person is multidimensional – it is possible to wander in these dimensions infinitely, and about each of them it is possible to tell some story. Volodymyr Shynkaruk seems to have in store an infinite number of such histories – and he knows how to tell them honestly, deeply, interestingly. So that at a certain instant his stories become – your own.

Volodymyr Shynkaruk. Perekoty-nebo. (TumbleSky)


This seems to be that very bardic song, although in the sounding there is now more transparent, delicate sense, which is conveyed not with words, but exactly with music. But at the same time, the word has not become less significant. As it should be when the issue is intelligent, thought over, internally experienced texts, not just rhymed lines of certain meters.

Serhij Moroz. Jarij, Dushe...


Vasyl Stus is one of those poets who are known to everybody who knows at least something about Ukrainian poetry. That’s why it is not a surprise to anyone that from time to time musicians of quite different styles and trends turn to his literary heritage...
Domestic price: 278.60UAH, International price: $19.90USD

Olexandr Ihnatusha. Bily vovk. /digi-pack/. (White Wolve)


At a certain moment it seems as if you were listening not to a simple musical album, but to a collection of songs from films. From old and kind films about love, striving, laugh and tears, nonsense and serious questions of life.

Я довго шукала цей альбом. У Львові у крамницях його купити просто неможливо. Драча шаную ще з першої "Червоної рути". Диск чудовий! Великий плюс - фото, ноти, слова... Думаю, що в Едуард пісень ще не на один диск назбиралося - чекаємо...

Я придбав цього диска місяць тому і досі перебуваю у захваті, тексти і манера виконання притаманні кобзарям часів Запорізької Січи не можуть залишити байдужими будь-кого. Співаю із привеликим задоволенням. Аж сльози навертаються.
