"The song – is the soul of a people. As long as folk songs live, Ukraine lives. We move to live in large cities seduced by values of the global world, we admire other people's cultures. But while the folk song is heard, we do not lose ourselves, we keep in touch with the spirit of our land. However, it sounds more rarely, because it is hard to fit authentic singing and archaic instruments into the routine of the contemporary reality. To make the folk song a part of everyday life, we must reveal it in forms of popular music. This is the main objective of UkrainSKA – the new project by Mad Heads XL. The familiar melodies will arise in an updated, sometimes unexpected form, unknown ones will have a chance not to be forgotten. Actually, these are folk songs in the style of Mad Heads XL, the sound is based on modern ska-punk without clear style limits. Positive, good moods and frantic drive – all the best from Mad Heads XL now in folk songs!" (information from the official press release)

...with their own example the group perfectly demonstrates that serious sense of humor can lead far enough. It has already brought Sontseklyosh to a very tight concert schedule, wide recognition in not that really narrow circles, and now – to the second album as well. The album, believe me, is cool...

"Integro" sounds very prudent, balanced – there is something special that makes it an album, and a strong one, not a collection of colorful pictures. As a flower that suddenly opens up in the middle of the night and – darkness becomes transparent, the air – cool and fragrant, and thoughts – pure...

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.

On the one hand, everything is simple – it contains both a rich instrumental component, and the ethno-jazz-rock mixture with the psychedelic aftertaste, and, certainly, the magic seasoning of ancient language. On the other hand – everything is also simple: the soul was invested here, one can hear this – and, maybe, that is why the music penetrates so deeply...

...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.

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.

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..

In its foundation, the idea was simpler and defined as "ethno-cabaret" – that is, folk songs decorated with a music mix from any sorts of styles. Conditionally speaking, from northern dub to oriental blues. And as a result they conducted skilful retro-styling for NEP times (the New Economic Policy), that is for around the 1920s. And what appeared then – was a bomb.

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 long expected has finally happened – "VV" has republished its works of the past years. Cult one – you won’t call that anything but that. The album "Muzika" is something considerably more than just a music product or some high-quality goods. This is an idea, embodiment, revolution, hope, and joy, and a thousand of things in one."

Only one thing remains unchanged at each new occurrence of these musicians - it is high quality and power of creativity. This is not a "live" concert, but you may be convinced, that charismatic Oleh Skrypka still can break the internal protective borders of listeners and take them to the next level of feeling and perception.

Gaydamaky are one of those groups – that enjoy really loud popularity in Europe. Loud enough to engage in listening to Ukrainian music even those people who have never ever heard about Ukraine before, to say nothing about its music..

Even their texts alone would already be quite sufficient to advantageously stand out against the majority – no doubt. This, if you wish, already really looks like rock poetry. Well, and plus – actually the music. Two bright constituents perfectly merge in it. On the one hand, this is powerful rock. On the other – warm freshness arising due to participation of not quite ordinary, as for rock, instruments matters here – a pan-pipe, accordion, domra.

Well, finally a new disc by the boyan Zhyvosyl – Vasyl Lyuty – has appeared. I think that anyone who had already heard his songs before could not help waiting for something new. There is such force in his texts, and in music – live indeed – that it is almost impossible to listen indifferently, not to get penetrated with it.

"Vij" is one of a few groups that really know how to keep silent. In a qualitative, saturated way. They say little, but to the point – and then silence falls down for a long time. Sometimes, it even causes cold shiver, so many various meanings are hidden there. And sometimes – everything becomes so simple, clear, clean...

If there is in the world such style as benevolent, smiling punk – it is exactly this case. At least, the ideological basis. Because a lot of elements are mixed in the music: clearly, punk, plus alternative, minimalism, ska, symphonic rock, blues, hardcore – and all this cuisine is lavishly seasoned with folk in virtually all possible displays.

"Haydamaky" have surpassed themselves – in any case, they have surpassed the level, which they set with the previous album. At the same time, its main characteristic feature - drive without brakes - was not only preserved by them, but also developed. Yet, their step is not of youths, but of men.
