Don't miss - this Sunday at the UECC! 2pm - Philadelphia's premier of incredible documentary "Babushkas of Chernobyl"

Chernobyl was the site of the world's worst nuclear accident and, for the past 27 years, the area around the plant has been known as the Exclusion Zone. And yet, a community of about 200 people live there -- almost all of them elderly women. These proud grandmas defied orders to relocate because the...

NYT про Мар'яну Садовську - не пропустіть зустріч в неділю, 24го січня, в Культурному Центрі!

"One thoroughly worldly individualist was Mariana Sadovska, a Ukrainian musician based in Germany. She wrung startling drama from traditionalist songs turned contemporary in a set that spanned folklore, humor, grief and rage. Her voice holds the clarity and bite of Slavic folk styles; her stage presence has the bright-eyed intensity of Björk or PJ Harvey. Backed by Christian Thomé on drums and electronics, Ms. Sadovska moved between acoustic instruments — harmonium, jaw harp — and her own keyboards and electronics. She summarized her songs before she sang them, among them a creation myth, a New Year’s ritual involving a goat, and a bitter, furious reflection on Ukraine after the Russian invasion, all of them vividly focused."

The show at Webster Hall on Sunday featured 12 overlapping sets that included a variety of music, much of it affirming a heritage or giving it a personal twist.

Прямуючи в Україну, яка в 30-ті роки переживала не найкращі часи, Майкл Шемрок був повен надій і планів.
