  • Take One! Ukrainian Hygge

    Experimental, pilot episode. We would like to revive the music, not a nostalgic approach. Двомовна передача, як сама українська музика Прерій.


    In Dutch Hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. But it’s more about light and the cozy objects around you. Ukrainian hygge is different. Dutch people don’t like big companies, Ukrainians do. It’s really about people gathering together, cooking, eating, and listening to the music .

    Пару років тому ми придбали програвач вінілових платівок. Почали ритися в комісійних магазинах відшуковуючи красиві обкладники і помічали як на душі теплішає від теплого вінілового звуку. Хто памятає, але для запису звуку раніше використовувалися лампові прилади. Хтось скаже "у магічний спосіб", але як електронщик за освітою я скажу: у цілком практичний спосіб звук проходив через тепле світло електронних ламп і тепло тих електронних ламп записувалося на вінілових платівках. В 1930-70хх роках, до появи сучасних транзисторів на диски було записано багато теплої, збагаченої червоним теплом електронних ламп світлом музики. Нам як шахтарям зараз треба лише спуститися в ті пласти щоб підняти на гору енергію того звуку.

    У свій спосіб ми будемо робити Хьюгe, лише не спостерігати тепле світло, а слухати його з вінілових платівок. Тим більше що нам повезло відрити особливе родовище, особливий енергетичний пласт тепла: українську вінілову музику Прерій 1950-70хх років.
    In the 50th-70th Ukrainian Canadian music started developing very fast. In full isolation from the soviet Ukraine there were bands and singers popping up like mushrooms after the rain and creating something very unique. It was not a just very traditional Ukrainian music, but rather Ukrainian traditional music that adopted local culture, style, ambience. Polkas, Ukrainian country, kolomyjkas became instantly popular at the countless Zabavas, Makankas and weddings . But that wasn’t enough , people wanted to listen at home, with friends and families. And that’s how the vinyls apear. One of the first and most popular Winnipeg’s recording studio devoted almost exclusively to Ukrainian-Canadian music, would be 62 years this year . Particularly because of these studios we will be able to share this very special sound with you and maybe recreate here on the West Coast a little bit of the warmth, coziness, togetherness of the Canadian Ukrainian prairies in the mid of the 20th century.
    Прерії, зокрема велика холодна Манітоба в 1950-70 хх роках пережили музичний бум. Українці, які історично славилися як народ пісенної традиції. Затиснуті холодом, ізольовані не лише від "старого краю" залізним кордоном холодної війни, але й ізольовані від решти цивілізації на засніжених хуторах створили свій унікальний звук. Створили ажіотажний попит на свої зірки, музичну індустрію. Весь цей феномен проіснував лише 10-15 років і за тисячі кілометрів від дощового Ванкувера, де ми записуємо цей подкаст. Але тепла записаного на тих дисках буде досить на цілу серію подкастів які ми назвали Вінілові Юкіз.
    We are pretty sure there will be many of our episodes dedicated to the different labels, singers and even styles. But today we start with a few highlights..

  • It is the war time in Ukraine, but the Show Must Go On
    Upd. This episode with ambitious "Season 2" marking was drafted in midst of 2022, but released only now, in fall 🍁 of 2023. The community leaders have not called me back yet.
    ....
    2022. Is the worst thing you can do to interrupt your flow of podcast. You have to maintain frequency regularity of your show. This is probably the most important for the podcasters to know. Well, my flow of podcasts was broken by the war...

  • Dominique Piotet

    My guest today – Dominique Piotet. An inspiring personality, a successful businessman, and CEO of the Unit City in the capital of Ukraine. Dominique also a well outpoken visioner, a great, I would say “an organic” communicator. Listening to his English speaking podcast with an Ukrainian name - Mayak Innovatsiy / Маяк Інновацій, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned about a global perception of the IT business, about the big picture and about small things. I wait pationately for next episodes of the Lighthouse of Innovations, I like the unorthodox delivery and the optimism Dominique shed upon us.

  • Bohdan Tymyc

    Bohdan is a role model for those who think about Ukrainian business in the diaspora. His company Yevshan is the biggest Ukrainian cultural goods store in Northern America, and probably in the whole world. The company has the strength and Bohdan personally has the business talent to hold this top position for five decades already – since 1972 when Yevshan Communications Inc has been established.

    Bohdan is one of the founders and organizers of the Ukrainian Festival in Montreal. Every year, before the pandemic, Bohdan is enjoying the summer travelling all around Canada and the US participating in more than a dozen of Ukrainian festivals. This is where I meet Bohdan after I moved from Montreal to the West.

    I have had the privilege to know Bohdan for 20 years already and I feel that I have never met a more energetic and charismatic Ukrainian businessman in Canada.

  • Skipping the Industrial Revival in Ukraine?
    Less rock-n-roll more hip-hop. The music is less industrial on the streets of Kyiv. The Industrial Parks remain on paper, as the whole dream for an industrial revival in Ukraine (in contrast to Slovakian and Polish). The service economy, the post industrial IT is booming in the big cities, the service economy is progressing, and the agro is doing well. Do we understand modern Ukraine’s vibe?
    My guests: Ivan Verstuk (Ukraine), Sergej Strajnak (Slovakia).

    Music intro in the beginning: Oleh Shinkarenko. Also played episodes of: Jony, Ляпис Трубецкой.
