Musical Vanguards at the Dairy presents: YAGÓDY

Co-presented by Sunflower Seeds Ukraine.

With primal percussion, hypnotic vocal harmonies and immersive ethno-drama performances, Ukrainian folk group YAGÓDY brings their mesmerizing sound to North America for the first time this spring.

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. Sometimes heartbreaking and often rebellious, YAGÓDY’s music is a testament to the land, and spirit of the people of Ukraine. 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.”
