The Ukrainian band Yagódy originated after Zoriana Dybovska’s previous project in Donetsk. In 2010, Mykola Huseynov proposed creating a band called Khrushchi v Borschi to perform and popularize Ukrainian music in the East. There, the group existed for four years but disbanded due to the onset of hostilities in the Donbas region. Then in 2014, Zoriana and her son had to leave Donetsk and relocate to a safe territory. However, she didn’t abandon the idea of reviving and reinterpreting folk songs.
