Current music from and about Ukraine and its people- no politics, please.

 
No brave or deep stuff for me tonite. Just some vintage Hot Chocolate (Горячий Шоколад).

Горячий Шоколад - "Без ума от счастья"

This group was my first exposure to Ukrainian popular music btw. An Armenian car dealership near me used to run music videos from around the region late at night over their commercials on a public access channel.

Video plays only on YouTube btw. Hence the link.
 
A truly beautiful "science fiction" themed music video with excellent, expensive production values. I have enjoyed science fiction all my life, and to see this production from Ukraine gives me great pleasure. I downloaded it.
 

 
 
The YouTube vlogger "Anna from Ukraine" began vlogging on YT after the war began. She has a Ph.D. in linguistics, but she vlogs daily more broadly about the culture and history of Ukraine and the surrounding countries, and sometimes about the current situation.

In the vlog 52 linked below, she discusses traditional musical instruments and folk dances of Ukraine. In the first (pinned) comment beneath the vlog, Anna links several illustrative musical performances and folk dances. At the end of her vlog, she shows a live street performance by a Ukrainian pop star that she chanced upon while walking through the city a few days ago.
