Korinya Folk Band Фольклорний гурт «Коріння» Toronto Ukrainian Festival 2017 9 16

Фольклорний гурт «Коріння» Korinya (which means "roots" in English), is a young band from the Ukrainian diaspora that has been performing in the U.S. and Canada since 2005. Since then, Korinya has performed several times in Ukraine, and in 2012 won 1st place at the Boyko Festival. This young band presents Ukrainian folk music in a fresh, grassroots way. Hear the voices of the steppes, the cheerful melody of the sopilka, and the strong, soulful fiddle playing that tie this young band to their Ukrainian roots. Members include Sana Shepko (violin), Zoya Shepko (accordion), Alina Kuzma (vocals), Maria Pleshkevich (percussion), and Stefan Shepko (sopilka). Korinya recently released their recording, Zemlya, which is available in CD format as well as online on Spotify, iTunes, and CD Baby.
