Abstrakt:
The folk revival movement in Ukraine, arisen in the late 1960s, has undergone a significant transformation with new forms since the outbreak of the conflict(s) in Ukraine (beginning in 2014 and in larger extent after 2022). Under conditions of war, these practices have rapidly gained popularity among wide audience and responding to a shared social need to support national idea through Ukrainian rural music and dance traditions. A distinctly politicized and national character of the current Ukrainian folk revival movement became a resistance reaction on an armed conflict. The role of grassroots representers have become crucial to new forms of folk music movement, which shifted from performative to participatory music-making after 2014. Its increased visibility across a wide range of media has influenced other spheres of the country’s musical life.
