Folk band "Burdon". Re: Karpatia. // www.UMKA.com.ua

For all those who love real folk, there is a sheer joy in store. As well as for all those who love real live records. As well as for all those who love real acoustics, i.e. unplugged. But, I think, the most expressed smiles will be on faces of all those who consider that the folk both is and should be the most synthetic, perhaps, eclectic direction of music development. In the sense that all real folk melodies of the world have the same common roots. And, consequently, these melodies can be combined, overlapped, mixed, considered and launched in parallel – and it will always contain harmony and joy. Actually, this is exactly what happens now – the Lviv band "Burdon" represents their first album, "Re: Carpathia". On it, you can here modern ethnic music from absolutely different Carpathian areas and corners – Ukrainian, Romanian, Magyar traditions are combined here. Moreover, here "Burdon" also incorporates old songs of smaller ethnic groups – Chango, Lemky, Rusyny, Boiky and Huzul ones. 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...

It’s really pleasent when someone promises and then does even more . Deeply, better, lovely... It’s pleasing when somebody devouts his heart and soul to business in the way that you can see this pure soul, feel this heart so close to yourself...

Paris To Kyiv. Fragmenti.

It is just extraordinarily beautiful music – deep, transparent, illuminating meditation of sound. In it, there harmoniously revolve round Ukrainian melodies and lyrics – the Asiatic guttural singing, Southern percussion, bells and electric guitar... You listen – and understand: strange is this world, and its wonders are – joyous.

DakhaBrakha. Jahudky.

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.
