Ukrainian Bandura instruments and chorus part 2

The bandura is a Ukrainian national instrument. It can be compared to a mandolin. This chorale plays and sings. The Shevchenko Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus was formed in 1918, has been thru several phases, and is centered in Detroit USA. These recordings were made in the 1950s-1970s period.

1) The Boat On the Waves (Choven khitayetsia)
2) The Wind and Rain (I Shumit i hude)
3) Forward (Vpered)
4) March Ukraine

The group has a website at www.bandura.org.
For more on the subject you can see the 1962 kozak movie "Taras Bulba".

I'm on the Bandura website but can't find what CD this is from or if it is actually a tape? Could you please tell me? Many thanks for sharing such beautiful music, had my Bandura about a week now, probably my favourite instrument yet!

@philosoful It's from my old LPs. They haven't reissued all their old recordings at all. Ask them why not?

What a pity! You have removed part 1 movie...

The geosilver channel was lost because of a complicated error. I can repost the first on this channel if I get requests, which I'll consider this to be.

This is the much better arrangemet and interpretation.

Mostly like I remember from my childhood.

i think that should be a good thing to create a school for young builder of banduras in Ukraìne to avoid to loose an other world's heritage.

@GSilverWorld
