A rather strange title – but a live history underlies it. Sixty plus years ago Lemkys were evicted, deported from their native lands – therefore now they might be Kyiv, and Polish, and even Siberian ones... Actually, it is for the anniversary of these trials that broke far not one human life that release of the album was intended. But, in spite of all that, this disc is an embodiment of hope and optimism. In fact, despite attempts of authorities, Lemkys have never been destroyed – they live and keep on, even though dispersed all around the world. Their culture has not been destroyed – their customs, the manner of speech, narratives, traditional mores, etc. have been preserved. And the main thing is that their songs have been preserved. Both lyrics, and the manner of performance – if you have already come across it before, you know that Lemkys' song differ very distinctly from any other Ukrainian songs. Strong, deep, they have enormous internal expression – these are songs of really free, brave people. Those who do not boast the strength of their will, do not look depreciatingly at those who live otherwise – and this is, by the way, a sure sign of not a showy but real inner force.

..at the end of the 1960s "Dumka" choir was virtually the best choral collective in USSR, and Muravsky was in the bloom of his strength. Borys Hmyrya at that moment had also already, as they say, achieved his best. His voice was known in the whole world – however, this absolutely did not influence the habit of working with material attentively, even captiously, and striving for virtually perfect results..

As I have an acquaintance who works at the airport, I can confidently say: when flying away from Ukraine, people search for discs by exactly this Ukrainian collective, in fact, more frequently than any other ones. Whatever you might say, the National Choir named after G.Veryovka is a real, bright, original legend. Living.

...And thus with the first song one wants to raise the glass, and with the following – one want to forget about the glass forever. So, different songs sound here, for different moods. But I am sure that they would not be even half that convincing unless the force of performance – and some songs really fascinate, that is how they sing them.

Here usual Ukrainian songs sound as spiritual ones, though they seem to have nothing to do with the church. So then, here a song as it is acquires a new quality and a new content – to be exact, an old and almost forgotten content.

...with this release the ensemble has not only lined a certain result, but also made a wonderful present indeed. Not only for itself – for all fans of beautiful music in general and the Ukrainian song in particular. Extraordinarily clear, tender, penetrating performance – honestly speaking, the feeling is that the both parts of this album can be a sort of a standard of trade, quality.

Incredible – Drevo will soon have their 30th anniversary already... For a person it is a bloom of forces, or more precisely – literally a step away from the very juice, the age in the eve of the first real maturity. It appears that this observation can be true for music groups as well...

At presentation of this album "Bozhychi" told approximately the following about its appearance: that once they revised all of their materials collected in folklore expeditions and understood that the majority of the songs they collected were about love. In this or that form, in various situations of life, but – about love.
