KOZA is a Ukrainian folk music trio touring the Netherlands that disregards the traditional stage and audience setup. Anyone who joins is invited to sing and dance, invoke the spirit of your ancestors, and become part of the Ukrainian diasporic family.
Instead of letting their audience sit passively in their seats, musicians Natalia Klymiuk, Dmytro Hava and Uliana Bun invite their listeners to take part in social singing and dancing performances. The trio transforms any formal stage they perform on into a “vulytsia,” meaning “the street” in Ukrainian – a reference to the traditional communal gatherings that took place in villages long ago.
