Ukrainian Power

Canada is home to the second largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world, and their musical legacy runs deep. Ukrainian Power celebrates the rich traditions and modern expressions of Ukrainian-Canadian music—from centuries-old folk songs and fiery polkas to soaring choirs and contemporary fusions. These recordings reflect resilience, cultural pride, and a deep connection to both homeland and adopted land. Whether performed in prairie halls or urban stages, this music tells the story of a community that has helped shape Canada’s cultural fabric. Слава Україні — Glory to Ukraine!
