Hesed-Arieh - All-Ukrainian Jewish Charitable Foundation
Vocal-instrumental ensemble of Jewish song “Varnichkes”
The group is not very young already, founded in January 2007. The main purpose of the group consists in demonstration of the fact that Yiddish music is not a relic but is quite a modern platform for the youth cultural development and makes interest for both representatives of Jewish nationality and the widest circle of people completely unknowledgeable in music. Its repertoire includes old and modern songs in Yiddish, niguns in a capella performances. In its activity the group tries to combine traditions and modern tendencies of “world music”. The members of the group sincerely believe that Jewish music in Ukraine will become soon an integral part of the youth musical club movement, which already has been existing for years abroad.
