Our unplanned ensemble performance happened in a train car when we were already returning from the contest in Truskavets. We just wanted to share a piece of Ukrainian song on the way. Because when you enter the wagon with such "luggage", many people are surprised and don't understand what we carry - so we decided to introduce people to the live sound of bandura.

Some of the passengers said they heard the bandura only on TV or radio, and live - never. But not everyone liked our idea: one woman got angry, called first the conductor and then the train chief. And you know what? Instead of banning, we got permission to perform the song.

And she has spoken out. Sincerely, from the heart, as always. Because music is not an obstacle. This is a touch to the soul.

Thank you for such employees

I like the sentiment but I'm always annoyed when people bring their performance to a captive audience. I'm trying to listen to a podcast or read and listen to music. I'm more forgiving in a park, where I can choose to walk away. But even then, if you're just one guy playing an acoustic guitar and singing (badly), knock that shit off. Nobody is impressed. Practice at home. At least these people are doing something unique, which I respect.

I agree, and they have the whole cart to themselves, so it's a nice opportunity to practice without disturbing anyone.
