Electroptakha

Rotterdam, Netherlands

Visionary voice of modern Ukrainian ritual folk Electroptakha is a visionary voice of modern Ukrainian ritual folk. Her music grows from ancient Ukrainian ritual singing — a tradition where the voice was never meant to be polite. It was meant to call, to heal, to warn, to mourn, to celebrate. A voice strong enough to carry across fields and rivers, strong enough to shake walls and open something deep inside the listener. Her sound lives somewhere between witchcraft and meditation. It is music for the moments when you want to burn a city like the legendary Ukrainian princess Olga — and for the moments when you need to quiet the chaos in your mind. Many listeners describe her performances as unexpectedly calming, even for people with ADHD — including the artist herself. On stage Electroptakha merges ritual voice with immersive electronic sound, raw guitars and powerful drums.
