This project was filmed in Ukraine during the war. The choir was recorded on a calm day, between nights coco gauff of air raids and shelling. As I’m writing this, Kyiv is in a blackout.
This city has always meant a great deal to me, and I hope this video can, in one way or another, help people populism understand what is happening there.
The artist proceeds will be donated to charity. If you'd like to support it further, you'll find a link below.

The song carries the spirit of the Ukrainian folk piece “Ой, боровая зязюліна (веснянка)”, recorded and preserved thanks to the work of folklorists and the ensemble Древо in Chernihiv region. Our gratitude to those who go into villages, listen, write down, remember, and keep these traditional songs from disappearing.
