The Ukrainians were founded by ex-Wedding Present guitarist Peter Solowka and his tenor-voiced, fiddle-playing friend Len Liggins in 1991, the year Ukraine regained its independence from the Soviet Union. “It has been a long journey that has taken us 25 years by trains, planes and battered vans, and wherever we're going, it feels like we haven't got there yet - but it has been a fantastic ride! Our music is borne from the meeting of east and west, Ukrainian and British, and the genetic make-up of the band reflects this. Some members have a Ukrainian background and some don't. The result is a musical hybrid created from the meeting of different cultures.” This 2-CD album is a collection of their best and rarest tracks in their 25-year history.
We are a mix of East and West, Passion and Power, Tenderness and Dynamism. We write our own songs, and we happily cover classics from east and west.
We use eastern instruments like mandolins, accordions & violins, and sing in Ukrainian language, and support all of this with western rhythm.
Over 1000 gigs, 20 countries, 6 albums - and lots more to come!
Evolutsiya features 40 of the best and rarest tracks produced by 'The Ukrainians' in their 25 year career. Released on Ukrainian indepedence day (24th August).
