The Ukrainian music scene amazes the world with its talent and sense of creativity, and the band “Ocean Elzy” is one of the leading representatives of this cultural phenomenon. The leader of the band, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk, has always supported the idea of promoting Ukrainian culture abroad, and now the group is marking another important step in its creative career - recording an album consisting of tracks performed in English.
The musicians of the Ukrainian band “Okean Elzy” plan to record English-language tracks for the first time in their history. This was announced by frontman Svyatoslav Vakarchuk in a video posted on the band’s Instagram page.
The leader of “Ocean Elzy” began by recalling the Oscar film award, which Ukraine received for the first time in history for the film “20 Days in Mariupol.” According to Vakarchuk, the country's cultural figures must continue to work to ensure that the voice of Ukraine continues to sound strong and inspiring.
“That is why I am proud to announce that for the first time in its history, “Okean Elzy” is going to release music in English. We are very happy and focused. The voices of Ukraine are rising higher and higher,” said Vakarchuk.
He added that the new album in Ukrainian will be released, as planned, in the fall of 2024. It will be dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the creation of the musical group.
