Rising to fame in the days of the Orange Revolution, Haydamaky are now one of the most famous and beloved bands in the Ukraine.
For their new CD 'Kobzar'(Eastblok 2008) this wild men once again have dug deep into the musical heritage of ukrainian regions such as Bukovyna and Carpathian Mountains and and weave the old melodies into their songs. It's only consequent to add the bandura, the instrument of the Kobzars, to their vibrant folk ensemble of mandolin, trumpet, flute and accordion.
But Haydamaky that's also rock 'n' roll They can rely on a solid backline of drums, bass and guitar. Their punk roots are still as evident as influences of Burning Spear and Black Uhuru.
Their music live and on record is characterized by turbulent energy and a rollercoaster of tempo and moods. Even, if you don't understand the lyrics, you will be filled with the music from top to toe and feel the passion. Spivay
