Born from Lviv’s progressive Les Kurbas Theatre, Kurbasy channels ancient Ukrainian folklore through tight vocal harmonies, spectral instrumentation, and striking visual storytelling. Their performances are living rituals, weaving lullabies, calendar songs, and myths into a soundscape where past and present collide. 

Their latest work, Songs of the Ukrainian Forest, emerged in the shadow of invasion—a 14-song cycle tracing Ukraine’s landscapes and histories, sung in dialects that echo its shifting borders. This is music as a declaration: of freedom, of identity, of a culture that refuses to be silenced.
