Songs of war. The Ukrainian shows of show business changed the vector of creativity, becoming youtube records

During this war year, the picture on the Ukrainian pop Olympus has completely changed. Among the leaders are Andriy Khlyvniuk and Pink Floyd, Skofka and Yarmak rappers, Alexander Ponomarev. Focus studied what music is now listening in Ukraine and who are viewers of views. The main triumph of this year was the rap band with elements of Kalush Orchestra folk, named after Kalush (Ivano-Frankivsk region), where the leader of the collective Oleg Psyuk was born.

Children with Stefania's author's song, dedicated to Oleg's 60-year-old mother, won May 14 at Eurovision in Italy. The Ukrainians won a record 631 points. For comparison, the winner of last year, the Italian rock band Mtemneskin took 524 points. Oleg Psyuk, having violated the rules of the competition, called for a live broadcast of the defenders of "Azovstal": "I ask all of you: please help Ukrainian Mariupol, help" Azovstal "right now.

The musician knocked himself a fist on his heart - the hall roared in a single impulse. After the Kalush Orchestra competition, a video clip for Stefania was released, which was filmed in the destroyed Bucha and Irpen, he scored a record of 46 million views on YouTube. Although the text of the song does not contain anything military, but a video where women in military uniform save children from bombardment, it is impossible to look without tears.

The Skofka Hymn is the most popular song now in the FM band. It sounds on almost every radio station, and on YouTube has gained 26 million views. The chorus sounds in this composition: in the sky pure to hear the thunder in the sky whistle, but to hear the anthem in the sky pure cloudy smoke burns the forest, but to hear the anthem. Here, as in the case of Kalush Orchestra, it is not pure rap, but connected to vocals and very good.

Moreover, Skofka did not seem to be impossible - by the end of the year, the iconic song of Alexander Ponomarev "Ukraine will win!", Which gained 25 million views. Ponomarev wrote this song two months after the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, collecting many national stars for execution.

Here they did without a rap, everything was extremely traditionally-came out of a derivative-mud-patriotic march, where in the chorus a choir consisting of Mikhail Khoma (Dzidzo), Taras Topoli ("Antibodies"), Yevgeny Koshovoy, Yuri Tkach, Peti Black and Ponomarev, Ponomarev who gave it powerfully: "Burning, hostile technique burns. Native Ukraine will win!" Please note that the top 3 of Ukraine's pop Olympus was occupied by men this year, and two of them were rappers.

There was no such in the history of our country. We will remind that Focus was the rating of our Popcorols and Popkorolev to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence last year. The first place was then taken by the Open Kids girl band, the second - KAZKA band with soloist Alexandra Zaritskaya, and the third - Pottuet "Time and Glass" as part of Nadi Dorofeeva and positive. The rappers have only occupied the fourth line of the rating - the mushroom band.

The wartime has completely changed the priorities and shifted the accents. The same Ponomarev was not trendy for a long time, his work was not noticeable bursts, and if something sounded on the radio in his performance, it was the anthem of Ukraine. The fashion trend artist went around, writing in a traditional variety manner. However, a completely traditional song "Ukraine will win!" With patriotic content, it became a hit during the war.

Ogagin Ponomaryov wrote in the same keys and composition "on Earth, in the air and on the sea" - also good, but the results are more modest - 4. 8 million views. Although paradoxically, such a negative phenomenon as a war, in the case of Ponomarev, contributed to the creative rise of the singer. The same can be said about the rapper Yarmak. Since the beginning of the war, Alexander Yarmak entered the Armed Forces. But the artist has time to write new hits.

It can be said that the war gave a strong impetus for the artist's work. First, he moved from the Russian language to the Ukrainian language, and secondly, he wrote a number of patriotic hits, among which the main-"Wild Field" (performs with the singer Alisa), dedicated to the fighters of "Azov". It is an epic rap with ethnovils. All strangers are waiting for the destruction here, the Neptune of his trident is obtained from the Black Sea.

At the ages, all the legend will be demonstrated, will still show its power the regiment "Azov". "Wild Field" looked at YouTube 11 million people. Of course, this review cannot be mentioned by the first iconic song of wartime - "Red Viburnum" by the leader of the band "Boombox" Andriy Khlyvniuk. From the very beginning of the war, the singer went to the ranks of Terroboron. He has now studied the pilot of a battle drone.

The artist Akapely, in military uniform, with a machine, performed the song of Sich shooters "Red Viburnum" against the background of Sofia of Kiev and posted on the social network, where she gained 1 million views. In a few days, the musician from South Africa, the leader of The Kiffness, made an "Red Viburnum" arranging and created a simple video: Swalnyuk sings there on Sofia Square, and Scott accompanies him on a synthesizer at home.

The song was contemporary and dynamic and today it was estimated by 13 million people. But this is not the finale of history. Then the legendary rock band Pink Floyd suggested that Khlyvnyuk write on the basis of "viburnum" a common composition, which was hey hey rise up. She took first place in the charts of 25 countries, and 11 million people watched her on YouTube.

Recall that recently at the beginning of the Familyboombox group Andrew said that Hey Hey Rise Up has earned 500,000 pounds for Ukrainian charity funds. Kalina had only one song in the repertoire of patriotic content - "rain", which very modestly gained views on the network.

Singer Jerri Heil (Jana Shemaeva) and rapper Alyona Alyona (Elena Savranenko) performed things only by urban orientation ("Okhran, Otmen", "Pishka-Pushka"), but, finding themselves in forced emigration, and a drafting, artist. Compositions - as a reaction to the terrible hour of the war: "Prayer", "My family", "Why?". They all became hits. And they released the Ukrainian ethno track with a German singer ELA, he scored 8. 1 million views on YouTube.

The singer Wellboy, who literally filled the broadcasts of "Hus" and "Cherry" in 2021, wrote a rigid patriotic thing "Enemies on a knife", which became a hit in just two weeks. He said about her, "I was taught that war is always bad. I am a good man. But this war awakened in me some anger, indignation and thirst for revenge on the Russians. What they do is scary. And sooner or later They will answer this. " Today, the Video Track lyrics have gained 2. 9 million views (there is no clip).

Anton Velboy sings: Forgot about, now we are all others, we have one thing for all heartbeat, all the best poems, such life, siren - shelter have developed into the song. Enemies - on knives, crossed borders. Mom, do not ask why your son now live as we once asked Grandfather Taras. We fight - we will overcome, and everything will be okay we will be fine, just don't ask me: "When?" From the point of view of music, Hit Wellboy is a bright modern popfank.
