WATCH LIVE AT KEXP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68WmaQDt2nk 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.” The self-titled debut album, YAGÓDY, released in 2020 introduced the world to their unique sound, featuring powerful renditions of Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian folk songs. In 2024, the group won over audiences at the Eurovision Songwriting Contest with their original song “Tsunamia” placing fifth at the national selection finals. “A concert with Yagódy is a ritual ... there is the breathing of the wind in the field, a sound like the voice of our ancestors. The listeners are enveloped in living energy and musical trance. A dance of voices in the pulse of humanity.” — Internationales Donaufest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DumJJ-rnEmQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYQQs7vxt6Y -- Founded by actress and vocalist Zoriana Dybovska, YAGÓDY emerged as a continuation of her lifelong passion for preserving and evolving Ukrainian music. Having left Donetsk in 2014 due to Russia’s military invasion, Dybovska settled in Lviv, where she gathered a group of talented musicians and fellow educators to create a project that would breathe new life into ancient Ukrainian sounds. The group organically adopted their band name when a concert announcer called them “yagody” or “berries” in English. What began as a small collective of artists searching for their voice has since blossomed into an internationally acclaimed act, known for their intense, ritualistic performances and boundary-pushing interpretations of Eastern European folk traditions. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/saugerties/ukrainian-folk-ritual-yagódy/200029923742640 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, concerts, art, contests, live-music, theatre, eurovision - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 6 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Saugerties - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: 16 John St , Saugerties, NY, United States, New York 12477 - **lat**: 42.07862 - **long**: -73.95158 - **full address**: 16 John St , Saugerties, NY, United States, New York 12477 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ukrainian Folk Ritual: Yagódy - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/39467c4099c6ae2bae27a00055d50f0e9bbbacdd213aa533299884ab390c379c-rimg-w1200-h800-dcdbd7d4-gmir?v=1775847040 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ukrainian Folk Ritual: Yagódy being held? - **A:** Ukrainian Folk Ritual: Yagódy takes place on Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 16 John St , Saugerties, NY, United States, New York 12477. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ukrainian Folk Ritual: Yagódy? - **A:** Ukrainian Folk Ritual: Yagódy is organized by TheLocalSaugerties. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at TheLocalSaugerties's events? - **A:** Attendees have given TheLocalSaugerties a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
