WHY YOU DON’T KNOW A THING<br />
ABOUT UKRANIAN MUSIC<br />
People are used to the sound of Radiohead<br />
and Arctic Monkeys, and those bands don’t<br />
come to Ukraine that often (and even if they<br />
do, they only play in Kyiv), so why not make<br />
something similar but worse? Music of this<br />
kind rarely makes it beyond Ukraine and says<br />
nothing to Ukrainians about themselves,<br />
nothing good at least.<br />
These are just a few obstacles for Ukrainian<br />
music to fully embrace all its capabilities<br />
that, alongside postcolonial amnesia and the<br />
overall obscurity of the European East, make<br />
your chances to come across worthy Ukrainian<br />
music little to none. Within the country, there’s<br />
a bunch of small underground communities,<br />
each with genuine musical thinking, that<br />
have very little connection to one another and<br />
no context to hold on to when reaching out<br />
to a wider audience. The situation, however,<br />
started to change in the past few years, and<br />
with all eyes on Ukraine now, lots of great<br />
Ukrainian music gets the chance to be heard<br />
while the country’s colonial ties are breaking<br />
up for good. Problems posed here require<br />
more than one person and a lot of time and<br />
effort to be solved. However, Ukrainian<br />
communal action which has already proved<br />
effective in this war can work just as well in<br />
the realm of culture. This is my small part of<br />
the fight.<br />
