The most interesting during the summer 2011:
First we had the honor to take part in two events of national importance - is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Constitution and the 20th anniversary of Independence of Ukraine. Both concerts were held at Independence Square and were broadcast on television. On these special occasions we had the pleasure to introduce our new song "UKRAINE - SO WE".
We were also fortunate this year to attend the celebration of the independence of the United States since July 4, we were in New York. Before we played at the festival "HOPE IS", organized by the Ukrainian Youth Association. It was an unforgettable concert in the picturesque mountain nature in a hundred miles from New York, in CYM , which gathered several thousand extremely grateful listeners, mainly Ukrainian Americans who stubbornly danced and sang along with us our songs.
Festival "Hope Is" this year was the first time, which is not true of 45-year old CANADIAN NATIONAL UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL Dafin in town, the Canadian province of Manitoba, we also headed this summer. Full speech is here.
In addition to overseas festivals, we visited the European SAZAVA FESTIVAL - one of the biggest musical events in the Czech Republic, where, besides his own songs, singing local super hit "Yozhyn with Bazhyn" in ska punk treatment, which was the culmination of our performance and the audience really liked it - all sang together. Already have an invitation from other Czech festivals next year.
