Koliadnyky
“Instrumental on Tsymbaly, Violin & Telynka Flute”
Playing at: Barbès (376 9th St., Park Slope, Brooklyn)
Get: Tickets ($10 suggested donation at the door) | Directions
Thanks to a tumultuous political history, Eastern European music continues to fascinate folk music enthusiasts with its rich mixture of Western and Eastern musical ideas. That mixture is plenty audible in the music of the Hutsuls, an ethnic-group from Ukraine’s Carpathian mountain range, which is home to some of the most pristine natural environments in Europe. Koliadnyky, made up of musicians Vasyl Tymchuk, Mykola Ilyuk and Ostap Kostyuk, is providing the soundtrack for a work of puppet theater at La MaMa Experimental Theater this Sunday, but Tuesday night you can catch them at Barbès in Brooklyn. In case you were wondering, that glimmering, ethereal string instrument you are hearing on this track is called the tsymbaly, and its a kind of hammered dulcimer.
