Part of Ukraine: "Culture for Hope" Charity festival
14.00 “Moustache Funk” - a doc on Ukrainian funk
15.30 Q/A : "Pop music in the Soviet time" - a talk with Vitalii “Bard” Bardetskyi
Moderation of the talks by Aldona Kopkiewicz
In the late 1960s, the Soviet politburo directed the creation of musical groups analogous to those of the West in a bid to sway the youth from western music. These groups, known as Vocal and Instrumental ensembles, went on to usher what some call the "golden era" of Ukrainian pop music. The creators of the film gave it the name Mustache Funk because most members of famous bands of the time wore a mustache.
The film explores the stories of various groups from this era including Smerichka, Svityaz, Arnica, Kobza, Patterns of Roads, March, Bells, and Waterfall.
The film was written by Vitaliy "Bard" Bardetsky, a Ukrainian music journalist, concert promoter, and ex-manager of several Ukrainian pop bands including Ocean Elsa and Skryabin.
