Onuka /Ua

Onuka /Ua + showcase of new music from Russia and Ukraine

Projekt On Tour přiváží poprvé do Prahy ukrajinskou dívčí elektro-folkovou skupinu ONUKA!

Onuka byla založena v roce 2014 a rychle si získala pozici jedné z nejzásadnějších formací lokální scény. V roce 2017 vystoupila na grand finále Eurovision Song Contestu, čímž vzrostla její popularita mezinárodně.

NME o jejich vystoupení na Eurovision Song Contestu napsali: Ukranian electro-folk act Onuka nearly stole the show with their dizzying blend of traditional folk, horns and some serious techno vibes. 12 points from us!

V průběhu večera proběhne také showcase, na kterém se představí čtyři další umělci z Ruska a Ukrajiny: Ambidextrous (Ru), Lovozero (Ru), Yulia Nakaryakova (Ru) a Advokaty (Ru/Ua). Showcase je organizován ve spolupráci s online platformou PeopleLoveSpaces.net.

Ambidextrous (Russia)
https://soundcloud.com/ambidextrous
Ambidextrous is the stage name for Nick Zavriev, an electronic musician from Moscow. His solo work primarily focuses on IDM and ambient, but he is also involved in a number of side projects ranging from trip-hop to post-rock. In addition to his music career, Nick is a prominent music journalist and a software engineering high school teacher. Nick has released over 10 albums since the start of his career in the late 90s. His music has been released on U-cover, n5MD, Toytronic. m3rck and many more.

Lovozero (Russia)
https://soundcloud.com/lvzr_tk
Anastasia Tolchneva alias Lovozero is an interdisciplinary artist, with a focus on sound media and physical artistic practices. As part of her dance practice, she recently made a performance at the exhibition of a German-British artist Tino Sehgal in Moscow.
Lovozero's debut album «Moroka» is full of hints at "wave music” and post-club microgenres but the scale of composition and production is way beyond the typical expectations of “bedroom tracks”. Full of digital sheen, cold synth lines are more than an accompanient for Anastasia’s powerful voice rooted in Northern Russian
folk tradition. Anastasia’s live sets are accompanied by a video art created by a Russian artist Vj Haust (Darya Beskorsaya).

Yulia Nakaryakova (Russia)
https://soundcloud.com/iuliia-nakariakova
Yulia is a Singer-songwriter from the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, now based in St. Petersburg. She began her musical career in a folk-pop duo «Lemonday», which was a bright phenomenon of the St. Petersburg underground scene. Her solo project develops naive urban folk, with bright lyrics and minimalist pop melodies. In addition to musical activity, Julia is a member of the team of an independent art venue «Pianobar Niko» in St. Petersburg.

Advokaty (Russia/Ukraine)
https://dzierzynskibitz.bandcamp.com/
Advokaty is the reincarnation of the band Dzierzynski Bitz, which the Russian musician Evgeny Ivanenko founded in 2009 in Moscow. Six years ago he moved to Kiev (Ukraine), where his project was joined by local musicians. Dzierzynski Bitz' music was a mix of soviet era pop and new wave patterns, with a touch of the Eastern European orchestras of the 30-50's (according to the mythological world created by the members of the band, Dzierzynski Bitz was based in “inner Slovakia”). In 2017, Evgeny formed a new project called Advokaty (Lawyers), together with a Ukrainian drummer Denis Shvets, previously member of rock band Ya I drug moy gruzovik (Me and My Friend, the Truck).

Ukrainian electro-folk group ONUKA was founded in 2014 and quickly became one of the main new artists on the local scene. Three years later, in 2017, the group gained an international recognition after their performance as an interval act at Eurovision Song Contest Grand Finals in Kyiv.

Eurovision is not just a stage for the competition contestants to showcase their talents to European audiences – interval acts can get a boost from the contest too.

After their Eurovision grand final performance, the Ukrainian electronic folk band Onuka has entered the charts around Europe, and their videos have racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube.

Onuka’s EP “Vidlik” that consists of the tracks “Svitanok,” “Vidlik,” “Other (Intro),” “Other” and “1986,” two of which they performed during their mash-up “Megamix” at Eurovision grand final on May 13, is currently number 26 in the U.K.’s iTunes album chart and number 24 in Germany’s iTunes chart. Onuka’s music video for the song “Vidlik” is also ninth in the U.K.’s iTunes video chart. Onuka’s songs were not even in the top 100 as of May 12.

Their Eurovision grand final interval performance, which was a mix of folk music, live instruments and electronic beats, was also widely viewed on YouTube

ONUKA - це проект екс-вокалістки Tomato Jaws Нати Жижченко та відомого електронного музиканта з України Євгена Філатова (фронтмена групи The Maneken).

Обидва музиканти неодноразово працювали над спільними композиціями - The Maneken зробив кілька реміксів на треки Tomato Jaws, а Ната записала партії сопілки та дуети з Євгеном для альбомів The Maneken.

Ідея зробити повноцінний спільний проект обговорювалася давно, але втілилася в життя тільки влітку 2013 року, коли артисти приступили до запису дебютного синглу Look. Євген виступив основним композитором і саундпродюсером проекту, а також виконав партії ударних, баса і клавішних, а Ната взяла на себе лірику, основний вокал і партію сопілки.

Повний склад групи ONUKA - вокал, клавішні, електронні ударні, два тромбона, валторна, бандура.

Назва проекту ONUKA ("Онука") - це данина поваги дідусеві Нати Олександру Шльончику, видатному майстру-виробнику музичних інструментів, серед найбільш відомих робіт якого реставрація кобзи, що належала Т.Г.Шевченку.
