Balaklava Blues
Canada/Ukraine
With their live shows falling somewhere between a traditional song cycle and a full-blown multimedia techno show, this duo fuses Ukrainian folk traditions with EDM, trap, dub step and more. Mark and Marichka Marczyk met and fell in love in Kyiv in 2014 during the Revolution of Dignity, and have since dedicated their creative energy to telling stories of their home country. The pair are creators of the multi-award-winning guerrilla-folk-opera Counting Sheep and leaders of the Lemon Bucket Orkestra – Canada’s notorious 12-piece balkan-party-punk-massive. While the traditional music and rare archival imagery the two incorporate into their shows are unmistakably Ukrainian, the resulting songs are ultimately universal.
