Description

The Koliadnyky are a group of Hutsuls from a little Carpathian mountain town who sing magic songs every Christmastime to ensure that Spring comes again. The music includes the sound of the trembita, a 12 foot long horn made from a lightning-struck birch tree, and the words stem from pre-Christian days. Joining them will be members of Toronto's guerilla-folk party punks, the Lemon Bucket Orkestra. Wild times are assured if you will only lend us your ears!
