Yagódy

Breathing new life into ancient Ukrainian sounds, Ukrainian folk group Yagódy brings their mesmerizing performance to Canada for the first time. Their hypnotic vocal harmonies, supported by drums, guitar, cymbal, and accordion, will transport you to another place and time. 

The four women of Yagódy are on a mission to preserve their culture by both reviving and reinterpreting folk songs while donning traditional clothing and costumes like the ornately embroidered Vyshyvanka. 

They poetically describe their concerts as, “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.” Sometimes heartbreaking and often rebellious, Yagódy's music is a testament to the land, and spirit of the people of Ukraine.
