Folky Solo

Iryna is Ukrainian born singer, songwriter, hurdy-gurdy player, leader of MUHA band. She is inspired by her native region of Podillya, steeped in folk mythology, and by noble writers like Taras Shevchenko, Nicolai Gogol and contemporary Ukrainian poets. She also finds her creative energy in the elemental beauty of nature-rivers and seas, fogs and clouds, rain and sunshine. Her songs, accompanied by guitar and hurdy-gurdy tell timeless stories of love and belonging, tales abandonment, hope and mortality. Her traditional vocal style, lyrical and hypnotising, takes listener’s imagination to a journey through Eastern European Folklore with her.

Entertaining with their musicianship through a sound stemming from eastern roots and engaging audiences through a variety of languages and catchy grooves.
