If it is not for the first time that you visit our web-site, you might know something about this group and its history. If not, then it is worth while visiting the site and getting the information – it is really interesting. But now I will not retell you all those things – excuse me for that. I won’t retell you all those things, because even without any kind of stories the music of the group “The Ukrainians” draws the attention of everybody who does not avoid vital energy. It has somehow turned out to be that their ballads - wide and happy-go-lucky – are so cool that I do not advise you to listen to them being dressed in a gray suit and a tie. Otherwise you will lose something which is either a real feeling of music and movement or (which is more probable) a tie and some other signs of tidiness. In this particular case, it is not propaganda of nudism on my part, but a free music, as a rule, demands certain relaxedness from a listener. You should not mix it with bowdiness. Have I prattled about ballads in such a way? Well, now you can easily imagine the rest by yourselves, the rest, which is hotter even at its conceivable simplicity. To crown it all, personally I can only feel sorry because of the fact that so far there has been not so much music of such kind in Ukraine.

...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" 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

...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 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...

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 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.

The Ukrainians are a band. Simple as that. But not just any band, a band that surely knows how to kick it rock 'n' roll style...with a mighty nice Ukrainian twist.
The Ukrainians soar on this, their debut album. Combining traditional pieces and melodies with modern guitar and fast-paced urgency, they succeded in creating a thouroughly enjoyable disc.
All though each track is phenomenal, the standout energy tracks seem to be:
"Oj Divchyno, Hopak, Zavtra, Cherez Richku, Cherez Haj & Tebe Zhdu."
If you have any doubts in purchasing this album, there is no need. You will not stop playing this record...now all you have to do is be lucky enough to be able to purchase it!
