As said in my former post, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk is fully involved in the social life of Ukraine.
A few years ago, he created a foundation in his name, "Люди майбутнього - People of the future". The purpose was at first to promote Ukrainian language among younger generations. But due to the current situation in the country, the objectives of the foundation have changed a bit since several months: On top of promoting Ukrainian language, the NGO supports people in the Eastern part of Ukraine and Slava raises fonds to buy medical equipement. To do so, he organises some concerts in Kiev...With his performance of the 5th of October, his foundation provided 10 beds for the Military Hospital in Kharkov.

The money collected with the concert of this Friday will help the Zaporizhia Military Hospital.
On that occasion, Svyatoslav will be accompanied by the musicians of the National Chamber Ensemble, "Kyiv Soloists".

Slava will sing his solo album "Вночі - Vnotchi": released in 2008, the tracks of this album are jazzy ballads, the most famous one being "Така як ти - Taka iak ti - Someone Like You".
But there will be also a lot of emotion with this song "Не опускай свої очі - Ne opuskay svoyi ochi"... I have to say that this is one of my favorite songs !
This should be a memorable moment!
