как только Украинская музыка вышла из под влияния рашки о ней сразу же узнал весь Мир!!!

I had the luck to watch in live in Mai 2017 and Onuka was a total revelation for me, so incredible high fly performance!! Unfortunately in 13th of Mars 2022 I am really scared about their situation now, with the evil dictator Putine destroying Ukraine only for his own pleasure and total no reasonable reason. Peace to them and to Ukraine 🇺🇦!

Я украинец и это музыка моей страны. Горжусь своей страной!!!

Україна дуже багата, різноманітна своїми традиціями, музичними інструментами, талантами, просто раніше це все знищував наш дурнуватий сусід- тепер росія, а раніше СРСР ((( Дуже дякуємо за ваш щирий відгук і емоції)!

Hi, Jake! Thank you for Onuka! Love from Ukraine! 😍

Почему у меня от этого выступления мурашки по всему телу?

Коли Ната Жижченко грає на сопілці, цей звук проникає так глибоко в душу , торкається найпотаємніших куточків, пробуджує, дозволяє відчути гордість того що ти знею однієї національності... А мелодя всіх інших інструментів дає відчуття єдності і сили твого народу. Так я відчуваю музику Онуки)))

Every time I hear this performance the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Her voice is divine & the sounds are out of this world. I only wish that her music was properly marketed & promoted in the UK. She is a phenomenal artist & hugely influenced (as she says) by Kraftwerk. Very much like a cross between Sinead O'Connor & Kraftwerk with hints of Kate Bush and Orbital.

ONUKA is the greatest contemporary Ukrainian musician. The way she merges folk instruments and modern sound is amazing. At the beginning she played the sopilka, traditional Ukrainian instrument. Then, in that interesting part, she used the bugai. Almost nobody heard of it before she released that song. And these long trumpets are called the trembita and it's the longest instrument in the world. All about this performance was spectacular. I'm proud we have Onuka in Ukraine because they make intelligent music, not cheesy pop-songs. They make folk music fashionable and that's just unbelieveable that Ukrainian youth prefers listening to this type of music. And please watch the opening performance MONATIK - Spinning. This guy is the most popular Ukrainian singer, his songs are listened in Russia, Belarus and so on... He is very talented!

I'm from Portugal and I love Ukraine and Ukrainians. I wish them ALL the best; They really really deserve it. _*BTW, I personally know Ukraine. I enjoyed my time there. I recommend everyone to visit it._

То є моя країна і я пишаюся тим!

The "hair drum" is called Bugay [buga'i], the other instrument that the blond girl (her name is Nata) is playing on the microphone is called sopilka [sopi:'lka]. ONUKA is a band, the three girls wearing white Star Wars costumes are actually those who are in the band. The other people on the stage are the Naoni orchestra. One of the interesting facts about one of the Megamix songs is that the sound of pronounsed words that appear on the screen in white letters are actually the recordings of google translator pronouncing these words in Ukrainian. The translation of the lyrics is: I... to breathe...to want... I... to stop... the talk... I... to push... the countdown...only...the future...ready. Yes, it is all in the infinitive form and, as Nata once said in one of her interviews, it is supposed to be the sound of Chornobyl nuclear power plant's 'voice' before the explosion in april 1986 (read about it in the Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster). So actually the song 'Vidlik' (The countdown) has a deep meaning. The word 'onuka' in Ukrainian means "the granddaughter" so the band was named as a tribute to band leader's grandfather who was a famous Ukrainian folkloric instruments maker and expert. And now Nata continues his work making the authentic Ukrainian instruments sound in a cool modern way.

Ukraine again? Oh my...Onuka is my love.

That beautiful and extraordinary instrument on 05:02 is called buhai (Бугай). Like an ox, but better))

Ukraine has long-standing musical traditions. We are a very singing nation. Therefore, nothing strange. :)

Україна - співуча нація... Її мова - одна з найгарніших у світі... Її жінки - одні з найвродливіших на Землі... Українські люди - одні з найталановитіших у світі... Пишаюсь своєю нацією, пишаюсь своєю країною! Слава Україні! Ukraine is a singing nation ... It's language is one of the most beautiful in the world ... It's women are among the most beautiful on Earth ... Ukrainian people are among the most talented in the world ... I'm proud of my nation, I am proud of my country! Glory to Ukraine!

Грандиозно , шикарно. Гордость берет за наших. Я с Юга Украины

Вот что должно набрать 30 миллионов просмотров,а не блять "УНО"

Nope, it wasn't (just) "so good", because: It was a WONDERFUL masterpiece from the beautiful country Ukraine and awesome Ukrainian people. Love from Portugal, _(*I'm Portuguese)._ I love Ukraine and admire much the brave and talented Ukrainian people. I was in Ukraine and I loved the experience. I'll surely return.

Украiна це високий клас. Дякую Богу,що я Украiнець.

В .....надцатый раз смотрю и прошибает. Браво Онука.

I love that you love Ukrainian artists :)

translation a little: Onuka=granddaughter NAONI = National Academic Orchestra of Folk Instruments of Ukraine

СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ,ОНУКА_ дуже мелодійній етно-електро -панк!!!!

У парня вынос мозгов произошёл))) в хорошем смысле😍

Ukraine 🇺🇦 love you 😍

Jake, thx for Onuka request! From Ukraine with love❤

Great reaction, I was lucky enough (being in the UK..) to have found out about Onuka a few years ago while reading a Kyivpost article, looked them up and bought the album about 20 minutes later (actual CD ! ). Finally managed to see them live , in L'Viv last week (on my first visit to Ukraine ever , my grandfather was from west Ukraine.), so such an amazing experience.

I was on her concert in Minsk. It was amazing! Love from Belarus. :)

It's a Megamix from Mini-Albums: ONUKA, "VIDLIK" with songs: "Misto" 0:14, "Around Me" 1:00, "Other" 1:55, "Vidlik" 3:28, "Untitled" 5:34

I watched this live on my hospital bed and it blew me away! An incredible performance! Misto, time and 1986 are my favourites also завтра! Good reaction Jake!!

With love 😍 from Ukraine 🇺🇦, Thanks for the great reaction :-*

I love Onuka! She became popular before this performance in Ukraine. This is one of the instruments you couldn’t guess en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buhay

первый музыкальный инструмент называется "бугай", но в том случае звучал синтезатор. в конце выступления Онука играет на флейте (сопілка), которую сделал ее дедушка. он был мастером, который делал музыкальные инструменты

Tbh, Onuka's interval act was one of the best I've seen!!! She was also the spokesperson for Ukraine at ESC 2018.

Your reaction was exactly like mine on the night. Blew me away and have been a fan ever since! They are on my bucket list to see live.

Hardkiss the song "helpless"

I love Onuka. I From Ukraine 😂❤️

Hey, I’m from Ukraine and I’m so glad to hear all your comments every time that you see our performances. Thank you so much, you’re cute)

This performance just never gets old. I can watch it over and over again.

I have seen this performance live and this was completely insane energy on the stage) It's like the whole Ukrainian soul in the one act) From Ukraine with love ♥

A Ukrainian folk musical instrument trembita is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest wind instrument, the biggest of them reach 8 m lengthwise. Thank you so much for this reaction! I knew what channel to choose to subscribe! xoxoo :-)

This is an established band that I have been following for years. I am from the US but have traveled to Ukraine many, many times and was introduced to Onuka by my girlfriend. They sing mostly in Ukrainian, Russian and English languages. You really need to see them live for the show of a lifetime!

Love from Ukraine!

я из России, но всей душой мне нравится творчество этой группы)))

Ви такий гарний, очі... Дуже приємно було спостерігати за змінами на вашому обличчі😊 Я була в захваті від, цього виступу, пам'ятаю, перший місяць після Євробачення Я слухала це 10 разів підряд кілька разів на день і кожного разу "бігли мурашки по спині"

Неймовірна та чарівна музика, ОНУКА браво, НАОНІ оркестра як завжди на висоті сам неодноразово працював з цим талановитим колективом, дякую за цей виступ!!!👍

Viva Ukraine🇺🇦

Супер !!!! Музыка мурашки по коже!!!!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You can also watch the opening act of the Grand Final 2017, it is wery interesting too.

Love Onuka and love your reaction! I was know, that you will enjoy on this performance;-) Thank you, Jake! Ukraine loves you :-*

When I think of the 5:00 when she starts to list words, I swear I can feel the Winter Soldier coming to hunt something/someone lol! And yeah, I love the fact that she looks like a Stormtrooper but it's not. The whole robotic effect of her performance makes it so unique and memorable, and it's basically why so many people after seeing it basically rush to buy her music on itunes, I remember the comments about her getting so much love all around Europe. Even her voice sounds robotic but not improved to correct it, but just to give it some sur-human vybe. And the traditional aspect via the instruments and sounds, it's beautiful, the perfect association between the old and the new, traditional music and technology. I would love to see this but in the competition too. I'm really all for every single genre of music to be represented in the contest and show more of how yes Europe does have also something unique in every different countries. Ok, I'll stop here because I can already see myself rant and all so conclusion, ONUKA is one of the best Interval act ever. Nova Lisboa is in my heart since the last edition, I feel Portugal by wanting too much simplicity kind of made their interval seem meh but all the song were so great, pure magic but I feel it would have been better with more life to their interval.

Encontré Eurovisión por error porque me equivoqué de canal al cambiar en el televisor!...y fue uno de los mejores descubrimientos! Me enamoré de Onuka! Son excelentes!!!

2022 and still Goosebumps... I love this performance.

Please The Hardkiss "Helpless"❤️

Лучшее выступление !!!!

Да.... це неймовірна музика, унікальна та красивезна. Ця музика для життя.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

The instrument Onuka plays calls sopilka - Ukrainian kind of fluet.

You should definitely check and review this year's Eurovision act from Ukraine - GO_A and their song Shum that went viral and became a global hit.

Thanks for your reviews. Onuka is very talanted team. Greeting from Ukraine!

Definitely one of the best interval acts of this decade. I also loved the interval act from 2010. Riverdance is still best interval act though :)

Thank you from Ukraine again)

This is great

Love onuka!!!✌🥰💯

7:38 Here she played Sopilka. It's Ukrainian folk instrument like flute but it's made from wood

Wow

So glad you reacted to it. That performance was better than any other performances that year xD

Онука крута)

Дякуємо - thanks 😊

Jake, thank you for your honest emotions! :) Hugs and kisses from Kyiv :)

React to the opening act of the first semi final in 2017, Spinning by Monatik

Thanks a lot for this review! It was amazing. Ukraine, you are guys awesome!

Jake, these "weird" musical instruments you saw are Ukrainian national instruments: trembita (looooong pipe up to 26 feet long), tsymbaly (like piano, but with strings only and played by "drumsticks"), buhai (the most unusual sound you heard is made by this instrument), bandura and much more. Google these names to see the pictures. And ONUKA is really awesome, my advice is to listen to her music!

Well, if he's going to start reacting to interval acts, he must definitely do Riverdance from 1994. It left everybody jawdropped. We had never seen anything like that before and it's still widely regarded as one of the best interval acts ever. As for this one, it comes pretty close for me. It is really amazing 😊

Oh, it's so magic!

Intelligent man. Clever eyes.

This performance is stunning 🤗 glad you like it))

Im curious who used * thumb down* button?? At least explain why? Didnt like performance or Jake's reaction? As for me Onuka presented a real show with traditional ukrainian instruments and great voice. Im proud to be UKRAINIAN!!!!

Hardkiss - Helpless ( 2nd place of Ukrainian national election in 2016 (Jamala was 1st))

The bandmember playing the 'hair drum' called бугай (buhai or bugai) is talented Jevhen Jovenko. He also plays the traditional банду́ра (bandura), a plucked string instrument as well as the Cопiлка (sopilka), a type of flute.

Thank! ONUKA is a modern and promising artist! This is the pride of Ukraine!

Great great great performance from Ukraine as great is your analysis Jake. Keep going, excellent work, almost 10k subscribers 💪

this long stick instrument is Ukrainian traditional instrument trembita. on trembita in some regions in Ukraine plays in this times.

You so funny)) I love this channel, thanks Jack. With love, from Ukraine!!!

So happy you're reacting to Onuka! Yes Ukraine has a lot of talented people in the music industry and Onuka are incredible. :D

I became a fan of Onuka after that performance. Reaction Request: please react to Genghis Khan (Germany 1979).

thank you so much for these reviews of Ukrainian acts!! they warm my heart

This is fantastic ! Thanks a lot !

This was my favourite song of that year. What a great tune

In my eyes she was the winner of Eurovision Song Contest that year 2017

Onuka means granddaughter. The grandfather of the lead voice of this band was a recognized Ukrainian instrument luthier. She uses many of this instruments in her music. I’m happy you liked it. Valentina.

Ха, дивлюсь Джейк в ахренє від Онуки!!

Heard this and have been a fan ever since! I’m delighted your view was a positive one.

All the interval acts of last year to me were great! Could you please react to Serbia 2008 and Estonia 2009? I love how good they represent their own countries really well, you watch the performance and hear the song and think: WOW that's Estonia! WOW that's Serbia!

I too was mesmerized by the traditional instruments as well AMAZING ONUKA

You will definitely love ukrainian singer ILLARIA. They way she mixes ethnic motives with modern pop trends is impressive. I hope she will represent Ukraine in the future

This instrument is called "bugaj" like a bull. Thank you very much for your request.

I love ONUKA i started love them when i heard and saw this video from eurovision. I'm a real fan love ONUKA big art big big art and talent.

This is the best performance that I've ever seen and the best music I've ever heard. After my first time of seeing this I felt like I was cut into different peaces and each sell of me got an enormous portion of pleasure and admiration. Now it's my remedies from bed mood. I listen to it again and again. Thanks a lot for such a great composition

Bugai (Berbenitsa) - accompanying frictional percussion musical instrument, sounding like a roaring bug. Bugay is a wooden cylinder, the upper opening of which is covered with a skin. A bundle of horse hair is attached to the skin in the center. Used as a bass instrument. The musician moistens with kvas, pulling his hair. Depending on the place of contact, the pitch of the sound changes. Bugai is widely distributed in the countries that were part of Austria-Hungary. In these countries, the game on bugai was an important part of the Christmas and New Year holidays.
