The Ukrainians. Kultura and Pisni iz The Smiths.

We might talk exclusively of their drive. Besides, we might talk of that for a long time – and everything said will be the truth, as there is enough drive in their music for more than one group. Still, it is not the whole truth, though in this particular case the combination of punk and Ukrainian folk gratifies not only with the fact of its availability, but also with the skilfulness of its performance. By the way, there is some zest in performing Ukrainian texts with English accent – at least here it sounds somehow appropriate. But please, pay attention to the texts themselves and to their content. Frankly speaking, first I myself even was surprised with them - though they were written by people in England who were not here for a hundred of years, they are still actual for Ukraine today. Then I understood – after all, it is punk. If a person conciously performs punk, then by definition he should take and feel the problems of the society very sharply. And here geography is not very important, because no matter how different people might be, their problems are practically everywhere the same. Certainly, here the ability to analyse is required. Still, you can’t in any possible way call "The Ukrainians" idle-headed people. Another confirmation to this is the fact that completely lyrical songs composed and performed by them sound very well. After all, only a person who is able to feel love sharply is able to feel problems sharply.

Gogol Bordello. Pura Vida Conspiracy.


...cocktails by Gogol Bordello become more transparent. Not so much quiet, rather – more considered, balanced internally. It seems to be a carnival of weird masks, behind which the simple idea lurks: no one makes you agree to everyday mediocrity. You can do it – otherwise.

Kozak System. Shablya. re-edition. /digi-pack/. (Saber)


"Kozak System" offers a bright mixture of modern and folk poetry, powerful rock, ska-punk with insertions of reggae, and everything is kept together by the serious frame of the Ukrainian folk root. In short - you should meet them again.

Oneyroid. Khoden'. /digi-pack/.


This is music with its own identity. And it's not only about interesting arrangements – listen to the lyrics: this is not simulation of rural folklore, this is its urban rethinking, but not limited to the city. Somewhere there, a universal key to the roots reside...

Perkalaba. !chydro /digi-pack/


Perkalaba unexpectedly, without any announcement produced its third album. Well, and it was right to do that – it has been long time already that we've been willing to hear something new from the spheres of absurd folk, and Perkalaba still stays virtually the main Ukrainian guide in the wilderness of these unexplored paths and ladders.

The Yurcash. Menuets. Tjulpany V TselaFani. (Menuets. Tulips In CellaPhane)


Yurcash really was not going to disappoint all those whom he managed to surprise so positively. The second album is also a sort of a "hodgepodge" of different, almost incompatible styles and moods, from hardcore to acid chanson. Though, there are now fewer "heavy" music remarks – however, it does not seem to be a severe loss. And the banter in the texts – has become more varied, diversified.

Brem Stoker. Chysto Ekolohichno. (Just Ecologically)


Actually, today this cocktail contains even more joyful mood and mockery – both at themselves and at everything around. Well, and good moods in combination with rock-n-roll punk and city folklore – yields as a result the wonderful energy drink allowed for consumption at any age.

Vinky. Ruta-M'yata.


...the first album is a convincing evidence of the fact that this group is capable of making experiments deeply and finely through mixing ethno, acid, trance, rock and fly-agaric and at the same time remembering the taste. Still, even the vocal singing deserves your attention, to say nothing about the rest of music...

Perkalaba. Hovoryt' Ivano-Frankivs'k. (Ivano-Frankivsk Speaking)


Perkalaba has managed what seems impossible – to merge folk-ska and psychedelics, not forgetting about banter as well. Both in music and in the lyrics. Movement in this direction took place before, but now it has acquired even brighter, more expressive features. And this, you know, takes you away. If it goes on...

Vopli Vidopliassova. Buly den'ky. (There were those days)


The group "VV" has recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of their creative life – and have released a new album. The age is respectable not only for a group – even for a person it is already quite a lot. One can – and should – sum up some results and draw conclusions. Actually, the album "There Were the Days" has become this kind of summarizing.

The Ukrainians. Respublika.


The overwhelming majority of songs are Ukrainian folk songs known to everybody. But you may never have heard them being performed in such a manner so far. If we mix this cuisine up on hard and forceful guitar reefs, as well as on violent drums, we will get a cocktail that blows up right before our eyes.
