Go_A - Shum - LIVE - Ukraine - Grand Final - Eurovision 2021 - TEACHER PAUL REACTS

Hi guys! Roll call! comment your country + 'present'

we love peace and freedom

It’s a Ukrainian song in a techno-folk genre. This song type/tradition is almost a millennium old, it's a ritualistic song about an ancient pagan forest deity called Shum. The song is meant to call Shum to bring the Sprig faster and say goodbye to Winter.
And the instrument you hear is of a flute family but actually a traditional Ukrainian (or rather old-Slavic) wind instrument - "sopilka". This is one of the most used instruments in Ukrainian traditional songs. She is also singing in a traditional throat singing style, also called “white voice”. It's a beautiful combination of Ukrainian traditions and modern sound :)
P.S.: the meaning of the song is also about season changing. In this context, ending of the pandemic (the Winter) and beginning of new era aka new Spring.

Hi from Lithuania. I am that crazy one who watches others reaction to Ukrainian song just because it's too good :)

💙💛 Go_A 🔥🔥

She have only half of lung btw. After operation

В основу пісні лягла давня українська веснянка «Шум», що, на думку фольклористів, походить з дохристиянських часів та ритуалів, пов'язаних з весняним пробудженням природи].

Фольклористи вивчають її понад 150 років. «Шум» розуміється як впорядковуюча енергія , уособлений ліс , персоніфікований образ шуму першої весняної зелені, або бог лісів

Love this song ❤ Definitely one of the highlights this year... You may want to check out Australian entry too. It didn't get into the final, but the song sounds very unique too.

White voice. It is surprising that we have nothing. This is the technique of which our Salo candidate is governed by Go_A

White voice (Ukrainian: білий голос, Polish: biały głos) or white singing (Ukrainian: білий спів, Polish: biały śpiew) is a contemporary name, used usually in Eastern Europe, for the traditional singing style. Alternative names for the traditional folk technique of singing are: open voice, full voice, natural voiceо

Ukraine didn’t win but for me they are the really winners💚
Go_a is literally the best💚💚💚

American here, but big fan of Ukrainian electro-folk. Check out the music by Onuka for a similar vibe.
