Join Yagody, one of Ukraine’s most charismatic folk bands, for a special evening performance located offsite at Unit B, 821 W San Mateo Rd., and presented by AMP Concerts. Founded in Lviv, Ukraine, in 2016 by Zoryana Dybovska, Yagody (meaning “berries” in Ukrainian) is rooted in Ukrainian and Balkan musical traditions. However, the ensemble has created its own modern and gripping sound by showcasing theatrical singers supported by musicians playing on drums, percussion, guitar, bass, and accordion. Yagody conceive their musical stage show according to dramaturgical principles—a concert is like a performance in one act, self-described as a musical trance based on the pulse of humanity.

Yagody’s visit and performance at Unit B are presented in collaboration with MOIFA’s Amidst Cries from the Rubble: Art of Loss and Resilience from Ukraine.
