ABOUT THIS SHOW

Yagody is a Ukrainian group dedicated to performing both traditional and contemporary folk music from the East. 

A concert with Yagódy is a ritual ... there is the breathing of the wind in the field, a sound like the voice of our ancestors. The listeners are enveloped in living energy and musical trance. A dance of voices in the pulse of humanity.” — Internationales Donaufest


Yagody

The music of the band “YAGODY” is a sign of initiation. It is the wind in the wilderness. It is the songs of wild tribes. This is the voice of your ancestors. This is live energy. It is a dance with voices. This is how our nature smells. This is how our blood sounds.

Our project “YAGODY” appeared in June 2016. As is typical for everything real, the band appeareth spontaneously. As if it was meant to be. For the group's sake, we took up a lot of musical instruments and looked through a lot of lyrics to find our song, our ritual.  And now it has finally come!

Our music is filled with Ukrainian sound and Balkan motifs. It is important to us that the lyrics that flow in you, are also sound on your lips. Our music is the letters from the past that you did not receive.

And also our music is about us. Four women with different temperaments and experiences. Zoriana Dybovska (percussion), Sofiia Leshyshak (djembe), Nadiia Parashchuk (accordion), and Tetiana Voitiv (drymba and Tibetan bowl). We are completely different from each other, and that is why the name of our band begins with the sound “YA”. In Ukrainian it means “Me”. We are similar in our differences.

In short, “YAGODY” is a way inside yourself. Into your heart. In our music, everything is united into a single whole. Returning to the home of your ancestors becomes possible. So, watch and listen!
