The Ukrainian-Estonian band Svjata Vatra has been performing their Viking Cossack Folk Rock for over thirteen years. In addition to high-energy songs, they also feature beautiful traditional Ukrainian songs and Estonian folk songs.
Alongside band leader and trombonist Ruslan Trochynskyi, his daughter Rute (a singer and violinist) now also shines on stage, representing a new generation carrying on this rich cultural tradition! And did you know that Svjata Vatra has even released two singles with the Dutch group the Bazzookas?
