Onuka

Onuka will perform at Prague’s Lucerna Music Bar as part of their tour promoting their latest album Room.

Onuka is a Ukrainian electro-folk band formed by singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Nata Zhyzchenko and musician, composer, sound producer and director Yevhen Filatov (The Maneken). Onuka's sound is an organic blend of electronica, current pop music and Ukrainian folk instruments. Onuka was the first to bring the rich heritage of Ukrainian culture to the general public in the context of contemporary music.

The European tour Room is a continuation of the Ukrainian tour – a presentation of the band's latest album and an opportunity for all Ukrainians to hear and see them beyond Ukraine's borders, an opportunity to share all that has accumulated in them and to communicate through music all that is in the Ukrainian heart. In the near future Onuka will perform in Warsaw, Prague, Berlin, Cologne, Brussels, Paris and Munich.

Room is the band's fourth album, each song of which is dedicated to a specific issue of everyday life of Ukrainians in wartime conditions. None of the Ukrainians chose to participate in these events, none expected their lives to be divided into “before” and “after”. Few had the time, opportunity and space to realize their new life and rethink their dreams for the future. Each song of the album is dedicated to the dramatic emotions and situations in which Ukrainians found themselves.

The album features 10 tracks, two of which have been previously released as singles: the poignant ballad Soul of the Nation and the lively, life-enhancing Peremoha. The track Peremoha was added to the Equal global playlist with nearly one million subscribers and Onuka became the Ukrainian Spotify Equal Ambassador, demonstrating the band's social responsibility.

“I hope and believe that every time someone listens to our music, it brings us closer to victory, both indirectly and literally, because music connects, music heals, music saves, music contributes and music wins.” – Nata Zizchenko as Spotify Equal Ambassador.
