The Ivasyuk Phenomenon
“How did a young composer change Ukraine?”
2023•1h 17m•Released
Documentary
A documentary video essay that has been created over the past three months. We will introduce you to Volodymyr Ivasyuk, a young, creative, and stylish musician. We’ll also explore his songs, which changed the rules of the music scene and still sound great today. While everyone has heard his ‘Chervona Ruta’, few people are familiar with the rest of his work – about 100 songs and 50 instrumental pieces. We hope that after this hour-long acquaintance, you’ll add a few new tracks to your playlist and have another example in your heart that Ukrainians are damn cool.
