Folk ensemble “Bozhychi” was formed on January 7,
1999. It is made up of ten members, most of which are graduates of the
ethnomusicology program in the National Music Academy of Ukraine, P.I.
Tchaikovsky. Members of the ensemble take part in ethnomusicological
expeditions throughout the year. Here they record folk songs and dances
which become the main repertoire of the ensemble. In the vocal repertoire
there are lyric, seasonal, and cycle songs from the Ukrainian regions
of Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv. The ensemble
also performs traditional instrumental-dance works from these regions.
