Olexa Kabanov. Wind from the Orient.

Olexa Kabanov. Wind from the Orient.
Olexa Kabanov is a versatile Kyiv musician, in his hands, age-old European, and oriental, and African instruments sound identically organic. Strings, spirits, percussion – it seems that there is nothing what he would not manage to play. And at that – professionally, qualitatively, intensely. Actually, we have already had more than one chance to make sure of his mastery. Olexa Kabanov took part in such projects as Er.J.Orchestra, YO'Gurt Group, Gaydamaky, Mandry, Nadobryden, he co-operated with Oleh Skrypka, Maria Burmaka – the list grows longer every year. Somewhere he plays joint concerts, somewhere – he is also involved in recording discs. In any case, his playing certainly adds deep, important colors to the music that he gives a hand to create. In parallel he, naturally, is engaged in solo creativity – and the disc "Wind from the East" is one of displays of this simultaneous motion inward and beyond. It seems that every musician who follows the way of self-perfection early or late faces the music culture of the East – and gets penetrated with it. In the end, it is difficult to stay indifferent to this beauty. Thus, the only thing left is to let it in, let it through and – let it go. Evidently, Olexa succeeded in it – you will hear that yourself. Not the least role here is played by the fact that in his arsenal there are quite a lot of exotic instruments, and Olexa Kabanov searches for new approaches to playing them, he interlaces the East and the West in his plays. Well, and to what extent he succeeds – listen.

Marinita. Marinita. /digi-pack/.


Marinita is, in fact, Maryna Zakharova, who was the heart of the very original project Anno Domini. So, Marinita is a certain development to the story, testing herself in a new, even more open format: with the opportunity to collaborate without any special linking to a certain composition. The debut album under the new name...

Yuriy Kovtun. BraviBelli.


...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.

Olexa Kabanov. Ambrelyre. Polyphonic wheel lyre.


Far not every musician is able to breathe in real life into age-old instruments, to let them sound brightly, deeply – not with glass strasses, but with jewels. Olexa Kabanov, no doubt, is. In his performance traditional melodies sound as if they did not have hundreds of years behind their back – to that extent they are live, close, and warm.

Run. Over the Border.


In the world, certainly, there are quite a lot of people who play Celtic music – and even more say that they play it. But not everyone is able, having taken a correct basis, to correctly invest his or her own breathing into it – so that the harmony really came to life. Rune – you will hear that yourself – taught their music not simply breathing...

The Sokalsky Quartet. Koljady. (Christmas Carols)


You will come across Christmas carols of France, England, Wales, Sweden, Austria, the USA, Spain, Germany here – honestly speaking, the very list inspires respect. Moreover, all the songs are performed in original languages – and this is, you should agree, a piece of work. And it was worth it...

Folk Instrumental Orchestra of the International Culture & Art Centre Kyiv. Melodies Known Worldwide.


This is a masterly and harmonious performance of a great orchestra consisting of real masters, which is rated highly not only in Ukraine, but far beyond its bounds.

World known dances.


The name of a disc speaks for itself. Here are hopak, sirtaki, lezginka, hava-nagila. Executed on a synthesiser, these melodies are intended rather not for domestic listening, but for use at lessons of dances, or in the dramatised performances or concerts at school or kindergarten.
