Music is an important component of any national culture. During Ukrainian independence, our language has been oppressed by the expansion of the Russian musical product. The Russian colonial policy tried to impose the stereotype that everything created by Ukrainians was marginal and not worth the attention of the broader audience. With the full-scale war and the processes of de-Russification, Ukrainian music has gained a chance to be heard.
In this public reading, we will talk with the books about:
How do we avoid wasting the credit of interest in Ukrainian music and transform it into an instrument of competitiveness?
How is the war transforming the Ukrainian musical market?
Are Ukrainian listeners ready to support their own?
