YAGÓDY are a Ukrainian theater and music group performing in the genre of "ethno-drama" and theatrical performance. Participants of the Ukrainian national selection for the song contest "Eurovision-2024" with the song "Tsunamia".
The Ukrainian band YAGÓDY originated after Zoriana Dybovska's previous project in Donetsk. In 2010, Mykola Huseynov proposed creating a band called “Khrushchi v Borschi” to perform and popularize Ukrainian music in the East. The group existed for four years but disbanded due to the onset of hostilities in the Donbas region. In 2014, Zoriana, along with her son, had to leave Donetsk and relocate to a safe territory. However, she didn't abandon the idea of reviving and reinterpreting folk songs. In June 2016, the band “Y gody” was founded in Lviv, with Zoriana as the driving force and participants being talented actresses she taught stage speech. Together, they explored the Ukrainian repertoire through artistic “home expeditions” and learned to play musical instruments.
Currently, the band has refreshed and grown. They actively tour Europe and organize charity concerts abroad. The ensemble consists of three vocalists, an accordionist, a bass guitarist, a drummer, and a cymbalist.
