The Lincoln Theatre and the Mount Vernon Arts Commission are proud to present YAGÓDY!
Founded in Lviv, Ukraine in 2016, YAGÓDY began as a spontaneous project that grew out of their acting experience and love of folk music. Led by the driving force of Zoriana Dybovska, their approach to folk songs is unconventional: they reinterpret ancient melodies, immersing themselves in their drama and musical atmosphere. Each song for them is a separate action, a mini-performance in which Ukrainian vocals, Balkan rhythms and ancient songs merge and find their way into the hearts of the audience.
Their music is the vibrations of nature, the call of blood that unites generations. It is a journey into the soul of everyone who is ready to feel connected to their own roots. The band actively tours the world and participates in international festivals. Their music has been heard from Norway to South Africa, from Romania to France.
The year 2020 proved pivotal for the band, as they presented their eponymous debut album along with a music video for the song "Kalyna-Malyna." The album included ten singles based on Ukrainian and foreign folk music. In 2021, a music video for the single "Zelena Lishchyna" was released, followed by "Divonko" in 2022. In 2023, the band created their first original song "Tsunamia," which became a finalist in the National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
