"Arkan" folk music ensemble. Arkan.
Inflammatory Carpathian melodies for dances and amusement. Virtuosity of performance and high spirits, gentle nuance of sound and variety of repertoire. There are the Carpathian melodies presented here, and as you know, not only Ukrainians live in the Carpathian Mountains, that is why Polish, Hungarian, Slovak and Romanian songs and dances can be found here, too. These are not usual tavern musicians (though, of course, there are Masters among them whose names are written with the capital letter “M”) and you may feel pleasure of their performance from the very beginning up to the end. Still, this music is so light that it will be pleasant for you to listen to it, having rest with a glass of drinks in your hand. By the way, it seems important that there are no synthesised sounds in this performance, only authentic instruments are used – and this fact also adds lightness and lucidity.

Ukrainian song and dance party. Golden Collection.


...music recorded at the CD is really various, cheerful and alive. I would like to stress – alive. Forty one tracks – forty one groups from the whole country, and at that there’s no synthesizers here. It is, I’d rather say, a force...

The Tafiychuks family group. Melodiji Karpat. /digi-pack/. (Carpathian Melodies)

Was fьr ein Traum diese ukrainische Volksmusik! Wer diese hцrt und nicht das Verlangen hat einen Hopak zum Besten zu geben, der muЯ irgendwo angebunden sein. Die Melodien gehen sofort ins Blut und erzeugen eine Frцhlichkeit und Tanzlust wie keine anderen. Meisterlich wiedergegebene ukrainische Melodien durch hervorragende Musikanten.

Я не можу передати те щастя, коли після довгої розлуки знов почула знайомі
з дитинства пісні. А музика танців Закарпаття могутнім крилом підняла мене і перенесла у мою юність.
Щира подяка виконавцям за їх майстерність та за використування справжніх
інструментів. Для мене було дуже важливо почути музику так, як вона звучала до ери ВІА. Моя подяка також і видавцям за прекрасну вибірку з народних танцювальніх і співальних мелодій, яка дає відчути колорит Карпат.
