Okean Elzy: Montreal concert - 09 October 2014

In Montreal - Canada, the Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy performed a concert on the 9th of October. 

Here are some pictures and a video of this wonderful evening!

Everything started with these few words from Svyatoslav Vakarchuk...

The message was clear and well received! :)

After a meeting with the students of 'McGill Ukrainian Students' Association' and of 'Concordia Ukrainian Students' Union' - CUSU...

Svyatoslav visited the Montreal "Musée des Arts" (Art Museum)!

What do thinkers think?... Slava facing the Rodin's famous 'Thinker'

Indeed, if he enjoyed this day off in Montreal, Slava was not there for tourism purpose... but rather to perform a show!

After the show, Slava is used to use Twitter to thank his fans...

A few French words... No need to say that I like it!:)

Anyway, to describe this concert, a video says more than thousand words...

Yes, Montreal loves Okean Elzy!

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk - Kiev concert, 5 October 2014

On the 5th of October, the Okean Elzy frontman Svyatoslav Vakarchuk performed an acoustic concert in Kiev to raise funds for charitable projects.

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk - Photogr. Unkn.

Part of the money collected will finance equipment for distant learning sessions: students across the country, especially those from Donbas area and from Crimea, will then have access to lectures, seminars and web conferences of the Kiioviensis Mohileana Academy.

A quarter of the funds raised will be transferred to the charity project 'Protection of the Patriots' which operates under the auspices of the Ukrainian World Congress. Money will help buying medicines for Ukrainian soldiers.   

Regarding the concert, spectators comments on social networks say:
- 'It was a sincere and touching performance, a bit sad and very cool!'
- 'I'm very happy to listen to Vakarchuk singing jazz. But there was so little Okean Elzy songs!...'
- 'Many years after they have been composed, some songs looked new!'

If Slava sang few Okean Elzy songs, he also performed the famous Beatles 'Blackbird' song and the jazz hit 'Moon River' from the movie 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'.

Okean Elzy: 'Коли тобi важко' - 'When you find it difficult'... Because I had bad times!

Dear Friends & Readers,

Sorry for these few days of silence... I was sick and I needed to recover! (Suffering of chronic pain is a mess...)

Photogr.: Unkn.

In such difficult moments, how do I find the necessary strength to believe in tomorrow? By listening to Okean Elzy music and going deeper into Slava Vakarchuk's words, of course! :)

I don't know why I've listened to this song for hours these days...

'Коли тобi важко - Koly Tobi Vazhko' - 'When you find it difficult'

The chorus says:

'But honestly, who told you that this would be easy? (x3)
And can you really live with no ambition?'

One of my dreams was to learn Ukrainian language and to sing these beautiful Ukrainian traditional songs... It now became a reality! :-)
