Artist Description
“Most expressive: an astonishing mélange of archaic elements, vocal arts, hard rock and theatrical-ironic refractions“ (WDR, Western German Broadcasting)
For fifteen years the Ukrainian singer, actress and composer Mariana Sadovska
has been travelling through remote villages of western and central
Ukraine collecting songs, legends, rimes from the women living there –
popular material that only outlived the soviet era by oral tradition
and which, nowadays, is mostly unknown even among Ukrainians.
Together with her band BORDERLAND (p/b/dr),
Mariana works on this old popular material, transforming it into
singular contemporary sound. Between folk music and avantgarde
harmonies, she succeeds to revive the archaic pagan midsummer night
invocations, old-fashioned wedding songs, melancholic emigrant
chants... and to touch her public by telling stories about life,
adventure, sorrow and love.
