There happen moments in life when suddenly you understand that you are happy not some time after, not some time ago – but right now, right here, just as you are – happy... This album is full of exactly such happiness – it exists right here and now, it quietly shines in each melody. Here, it is very cozy...

..we do not doubt that this disc will give a lot of positive emotions to all fans of the Ukrainian song. First, because it consists exclusively of Lemkivsky songs – and this, as we have already mentioned, is still extraordinary rare. Second – just because the album appears really good, interesting, saturated.

..the Christmas carols album is no exception – everything is done well, and it is really nice listening to it. After all, Christmas albums can only be subdivided into two groups: those that create the atmosphere of celebration and mystery – and those that do not. Carols performed by Anytchka we, will no doubt, attribute to the first type...

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...

I am sure that the new work will give joy to everyone who has had time to come to sincerely love creativity of the group – and it will make the circle of such people even wider. Despite of the comparatively brief content, the disc just charms with the quiet depth of colors, with some really light, wise attitude to reading initial things.

Actually, "Songbook" can be described with one word – "fusion" – but only because this word has such an extensive, universal meaning today that it covers, well, virtually everything. And "Songbook" is like that – universal. Music interpretation of the material in this album – deserves respect. Literally every song really vibrates and sounds.

As for me, the wedding with such musical background could attract attention not only with merry mood but with extraordinary uniqueness as well. Trust me that such kind of the performance both with difficult rhythms of modern electronic music is something amazing.

The project, actually, appeared as far back as a few years ago – but it is lately that the concept has completed its final transformations, reincarnations, and now it is already somewhat new music. Not only in relation to itself, but also in relation to modern Ukrainian music in general – it seems that Dazzle Dreams are currently the only ones in Ukraine who play synthi-pop but with expressive, bright elements of ethno-lounge.

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.

..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..

...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.

To your attention – not just an album as a collection of separate works, but an integral composition. Music researchers determine it as a mono-opera – a bit unusual both in its form, and in the context. We could say that it is a new attempt of artistic, metaphorical recreation of the process of becoming of Ukrainian people.

Victor Solomin is virtually the only jazz domra-player in Ukraine, therefore the both of his ethno-jazz projects – "SolominBand" and "DomRa" – have here no immediate analogues just by definition. Besides, "DomRa" can boast two key instruments at once: those are the domra and the vocal, and it is they that provide the "ethnic component" of the sounding here.

Taras mainly sings folk songs – and far not all of these songs are as known and popular as they deserve being. But here one should be grateful not only for revival of some songs, but also for how they sound in his performance: Taras Zhytynsky has the voice and intonations that it is just difficult not to trust to.

...they did not create all the songs in the a capela form either and focused on the variety art style of arrangements. However, without an incline to the dancing style – in order to preserve the mood. The focus appeared correct – at all events, the recording sounds festive indeed, there is in it some special note that raises the mood.

Songs performed by "L'vivs'ki Muzyky" seem to just radiate cheerful, light feelings. And the new album of the group proves again that smiles have not yet disappeared from this world. "Day-Dreaming Dreams" is a disc devoted to Ukrainian folk songs, and not too well-known ones.

The familiar melodies will arise in an updated, sometimes unexpected form, unknown ones will have a chance not to be forgotten. 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!

"After Christmas" is an annual project of Maisternia Pisni, which in different forms embodies the traditional Ukrainian Holiday: Christmas–New Year–Epiphany. ..Traditional singing canon, archaic instruments and avant-garde rhythmics create the image of Christmas, which contains the mystery of the birth of life, the taste of the source, which we came from and which we aspire to again and again...

"Under the Window" is just a frankly beautiful album. Tenderness and force are mixed here really exactly, delicately, you start admiring it – and already just do not notice how you submerge in the music deeper. For still correct, harmonious combination of the female and masculine is not a trifle, it is from such ground that real women and men, beautiful people grow.

Rhythms of "Osyayni" bewitch with their soft, silent pace. Marta, in her turn, also obviously appears here not by chance. Her voice has a very interesting feature – it somehow inexplicably combines in itself the past and the future. It seems to be native – and somehow not from here.

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.

This disc consists of two parts. The first one is songs with modern arrangements. They involve the old kobza and the wheel lyre. At first glance, it may seem that some of the music themes are Oriental melodies, but in actual fact they are old Cossack tune... The second part – kobzars’ songs performed with the accompaniment of the old kobza...

To enrich them with modern colors without destroying the subtle paths of the light joy inherent in Christmas carols and shchedrivkas – which is not an easy task. Since it requires great attention and tolerance. Finally, it just requires love for this music, for the roots – and love that is creative. And it seems – they have succeeded.

For almost a century "Schedryk" has been traveling in the world in the truly fantastic arrangement of the genius Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. However, one should not forget that the age of the schedrivka as it is must be already more than a thousand years, and every generation of performers fills it with energy and pulsations of its time.

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.

..it seems that it is in this project that Stakhiv's skills of modernizing the traditional Ukrainian music have been expressed most distinctly. We have already repeatedly indicated that Stakhiv can do that convincingly and interestingly, so no wonder that now a number of talented persons have come together round him: Oleh Rozumovsky, Myron Bloschychak, chamber orchestra "Lviv Virtuosos"..

For those who did not know: Oleg Skrypka organized another interesting event in Kyiv – the festival "Moloda Gvadrdiya" devoted to the Ukrainian heroic song. And one of realizations of this project, apart from holding the festival, is release of a collection of, actually, those very heroic songs. It appeared that this theme was able to inspire and induce to individual creativity.

ShockolaD again combines Ukrainian folklore with improvisational music, and the ethnic component, as well as before, is strong and expressive – but this time the group represents fusion that literally borders on world music. In other words, in our view, this is soft music understandable for a very wide public – which, nevertheless, remains pleasantly intelligent, delicate.

It amazes at times how finely the Ukrainian folk songs are blended in with the jazz ideas by ShockolaD. ShockolaD may have limited itself to some hints at the source turning these songs into a riff with their complete mastery of performing. But the group changes the type of tune very neatly, and, at some extent, they rather add to it than change.

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.

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.
