Murmurosi

Murmurosi Quartet (Мурмуроси) is a uniquely enchanting ensemble that weaves together Ukrainian polyphonic vocal textures with new musical compositions rooted in folk traditions from the Carpathian mountains to the Greek islands. As Montréal‑based artists, Murmurosi contribute to the city’s vibrant intercultural soundscape. Via their focus on Ukrainian polyphony and Eastern‑European song, they represent a dialogue between old worlds and new, individual expression and collective tradition. Their work is both an homage and a re‑invention: honoring folk roots while exploring the edges of vocal performance.

The album “Svitanok” (“dawn” in Ukrainian) is each track a step deeper into the landscapes of Ukrainian folk: the forests, rivers, battlefields, hearths, and dreams. Together they tell a larger story about resilience and belonging.
