With their first album of 2006 "Good Night" DahaBraha not even entered – but broke into the music space, took roots and started growing actively. That was a live joy – both in itself, and because, in particular, the album consisted of recordings of the group's live performances. Now –crystallization takes place, and so you see the first studio album by the project. On the one hand, it means that a part of the songs will seem as though familiar to you. On the other – even familiar things will appear here in a new light. But all the same this light remains – magic. Not such, as the good old entertaining "magic lantern", but – such as that of Gabriel Marquez, Goran Petrovich, Taras Prohasko. When they surprisingly unite the most ancient past of different people and continents – and their modernity – and the space, in which all this lives, belongs to the world and light, and not to time... When attention to tiny, seemingly, details results in the ability to discover and see the Universe in each grain of sand, any drop. When everything takes place so truly that it often seems sheer fantasy... DahaBraha is sometimes water – feeding, cherishing, carrying and guarding. And sometimes – the thinnest blade cutting a mustard grain in half in order to find there – wind, sun, freedom. Nobody knows what exactly each of us will find here, but we are sure – to find. This music is strange – but our world is strange as well. See? Anton Jozhik Leyba (Hedgehog)

..Dakh Daughters have taken a step forward, being able to synthesize their previous experience – here the sharpness of the first album and the balance of the second one have come together, and as a result we have got a rich space of mystery and confession..

It is obvious that something extraordinary was expected from DD – so that it were different from the first album but not inferior to it. The girls have met the both expectations, this is a cool art-house piece, quite far from the ordinary..

..a studio album is a different story, it offers an opportunity to hear, not to see: music balancing on the brink of theater. Due to the art of intonation, which sometimes reaches its extreme and takes a step further – but also due to the art of silence, which only rarely acts as a pause, taking a breath, but mostly it keeps producing supplementary senses.

An album that's a joke, a discovery, a surprise, a challenge – combining the folk music of the Carpathians with the North American folk. LBB have danced that subtly but stoutly: monologues about dialogues of cultures are not really needed when you have such illustrations at hand..

This album was ready in the autumn of 2016 – but the musicians were in doubt, as a result they literally re-created it from scratch (the sound producer was Yuryi Hustochka). And it turned out – superb, literally. Fragile like the frosty crust on morning snow, thick and fragrant like masala – an album of hope, an album of surprise. Steppe blues..

Cooperation of Astarta (a side project by Eduard Prystupa) with Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree bass-player) is just an example of such quality implementation of ideas, when first you do not even try to understand what the essence is, but just listen. Listen carefully, because it is delicious.

In its previous album "Pokosy", ShockolaD stepped away from jazz for an almost safe distance – the key definition of the work would be "ethno-lounge". Well, and this time the group seems to have decided to remix all familiar ingredients – both the ethno, and jazz, and acoustic lounge – and, sure, to season it with a few new colors.

Belarus bands famous here are specific in their artistic, nonlinear attitude to arrangements, self-irony and – they are somehow particularly enlightened, I guess. When one listens to them – sometimes it seems that they are singing the anthem of the Sun, facing the dark wall of the ancient forest. And Vuraj in this regard is no exception.

...while grounding on Ukrainian folk songs (not played out at all), the musicians threw into the pot a whole bunch of everything – African rhythms, rock groove, ethnic and electronic instruments – and they mixed that up well. The result turned out pretty hot to taste, diverse, sometimes quite unexpected.

...Ukrainian authenticity is primarily the mystical energy of the earth and the complete harmony with the space. This is very powerful music! The new disc by ILLARIA is a kind of a calendar of Ukrainian music traditions. It includes cover versions of well-known folk songs based on authentic archival records.

...the album "Free" resembles that very puzzle, an element of mosaics that was lacking in order that the picture became integral, completed. It – disregarding, let me repeat it, the status of the debut one – seems to sum up some results, outline the visible and known space and, thus, free space for a step forward.

..what is specific: the core of the Ukrainian archaic material is not hidden, not disguised as it could be and as it has already happened. On the contrary, the foundation is very expressive, while all the rest – it is like pastel lighting. All those small sounds of country, rock, fusion, disco, club electronics – they are as if New Year decorations on a living tree...

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...

..It’s hard to pinpoint exact influences that aptly mirror what Dark Patrick is going for here, though a safe bet would want to include nods to numerous strata of organic electronica, soundtrack ambient, world ethnotronica, psych and trip-hop. Additionally, the band claims some affiliation to the fertile soils of reggae, dub and trance...

The album "Duet" is a combination of not only two voices. This is synthesis of two very different manners of performance, schools, music styles, and aesthetics. Since Taras Zhytynsky is a rock singer, and Iryna Zhytynska is an opera singer (mezzo-soprano), a soloist of Wroclaw Opera House...

Music contents of this release do not differ from the premium edition (apart from a hidden surprise track). Differences relate only to the external design – besides, there is no booklet with the lyrics here. Hence the lower price of this edition compared to the premium one.

...the content of the album in the style aspect is ambiguous – but, definitely, interesting. This time to their branded ethno-chaos they have added quite a bit of very diverse elements: here you have soul, and D'n'B, and hip-hop, and art-rock, and almost jazz decorations. It appears cool.

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.

Taking the Carpathian and Polissya folklore as a basis, PoliKarp modernizes it very carefully – the key melody and, actually, the manner of singing remain unchanged. While speaking about rhythmic structures and additional melody lines – here already musicians release their fantasy. And that is why in their music it is possible to hear impacts of outright rock, and jazz, and funk, and dub..

First I listened to the Ojra’s records somewhere at the end of 90-ties, yet then it was the attempt to join the archaic and the up-to-date. The staff of the group changed several times since then, and they didn’t give up to search. Of course, a variety of creative paths they made gave its outcome: one of the best, I think, neo-folk records of all Ukrainian discography of the recent years.

..here, "On the Verge" – the force of water is revealed very perceptibly, magic of quite a different level appears, intended for other purposes. That is, the first works were just to burn everything old, not able to live on – to clear the space. The new work – must feed the new, fresh relying on those roots that did not subdue to the action of fire. That verge from which creation of the new myth..

From ballads to dance, from folklore through art rock to meditation and jazz – I would call this world fusion, as a lot of roots from the whole world have intertwined here. However, all the plays have their common root: the basis is creative re-consideration of music of Crimean Tatars and other Black Sea peoples.

The mosaic that results is as bright as deep – "Burdon" once again opens the beauty of old music virtually lost for large audiences. And, at the same time, throws a tank of oxygen into the flame of modern folk – let it burn brightly and not die away...

The album "Valley of Muses" is, in fact, a Ukrainian project in the domain of world music – at that, presumably, virtually the first one in Ukraine. It is strange and nice to hear how organically there sound together, for example, the lyre, the deeply Ukrainian violin, – and the Indian percussion. Or the mandolin with the drymba – why not a couple?

Це перспективний проект. Вже з перших звуків закохалася у гурт. Мабуть я тепер стала його фанаткою (хоча фанатію я інколи, так під настрій)
Притаманна якась чарівна енергія нагадала мені живу музику свого народу. Цікаво, що асоціюеться вона в мене з шабашем.
Не звично, етнічно. От якби цю групу та на Євровіжон, то б вони під чисті барабани розтоптали усіх учасників. Іноді так не дістае мені тіеї щирої української відданності, якою багата наше молоде покоління. Люди озирніться, це ж майбутьнє нашої музики, яке потрібно підтримувати, та допомагати розвиватися.

It's most probably the best album in this shop. Contrary to what john riszko said, it has a lot of aesthetic values, and more - it's really traditional, not just a dumb "civilized" adaptation. Just don't expect lounge music - it's lively and a bit wild. You can check if You like this style at youtube - search for "dakhabrakha", you should get two videos.

Disco molto interessante; forse l'amico americano del commento qui sopra si aspettava qualcos'altro, allora è colpa sua e non del disco.
O forse ha dell' hamburger nelle orecchie!
Consigliato.

Save your money. This is a put on. There is no redeeming aesthetic value in this CD. This group has no musical artistry; there is a lot of unpleasant sound here.

Досить цікавий проект... Люди експериментують, створюють щось нове. Це вже навіть не український етнос, а навіть вже якийсь африканський трайбл... Але звучить свіжо і інтригуюче. Рекомендую всім.
