Ukrainia! Did you know Canada holds the world’s largest community of expat Ukrainians? Lucky for us! The Ottawa-based band, Ukrainia consists of 4 seasoned musicians who have decided to capture the spirit of their Ukrainian background by merging it with contemporary rock`n`roll. The result is a hilarious blend loud up-tempo beats and traditional marching band, Cossack-squatting tunes, perfect for pogo dancing (always my preferred style!)
Ukrainia, the band are performing at the Blacksheep Inn Friday, Feb 21 along with the Hydrothermal Vents. It is sure to be a memorable if surreal evening in Wakefield!
My show rarely touches on political issues, because I prefer to bring joy to the world rather than pretend I understand international turmoil. But with the timing of the anti-government riots going on in the Ukraine at the moment, I do feel the need to take a moment to commemorate those who have lost their lives fighting for freedom. Something we all seem to take for granted around here. (#endrant)
On that happy note, be sure to tune in at 5 pm this Friday (and every Friday) at 89.1 FM in Ottawa or on-line at CHUO.fm. You will also find us on iTunes radio listed under College stations.
