Mlada. O vesna, vesna. (Oh spring, spring)

Hi! We’ve got something special, and it may be new for you, too. It is worth while listening to it – almost irrespective of what kind of music you listen to as a rule. So far I know nothing about Mlada, and that’s why I can’t tell you anything about her, though her album speaks by itself, and at that speaks very expressively. What is more, not with usual means. Are you interested in Ukrainian folk songs? Fine. And what about jazz? Or, may be, some ethnic music would be all right? Eastern or Western? Or, may be, you prefer classical string quartette – a violin, a violin, a viola, a violoncello? Still may be, wouldn’t it be better to listen to a light trip-hop? Or may be art-rock – a light one? Then, I think, everything is understandable – all that is exactly here and exactly now, besides, there is something else. In very pleasant proportions. With a good taste. As the saying goes, made with love. There exists the music, which leads and carries you somewhere, or plunges into something. And there exists the music, which simply opens windows, doors, eyes and ears, and does not prevent you from looking around in a new space, which has been recently discovered. Personally I like the second one more, and that’s why I am glad that Mlada creates exactly such kind of music – the music, which opens. Clear colours. Well, what about Ukrainian jazz?
