Founded in Lviv in 2016, Yagódy the band began as a spontaneous project that grew out of their acting experience and love of folk music. Their approach to folk songs is unconventional: they reinterpret ancient melodies, immersing themselves in their drama and musical atmosphere. Each song for them is a separate action, a mini performance in which Ukrainian vocals, Balkan rhythms, and ancient songs merge and find their way into the hearts of the audience. Their music is the vibrations of nature, the call of blood that unites generations. It is a journey into the soul of everyone who is ready to feel connected to their own roots. The band actively tours the world and participates in international festivals. Their music has been heard from Norway to South Africa, from Romania to France. In 2024, Yagódy became a finalist in the National Selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Tsunamia.”

Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974. The young Missouri native displayed his soon-to-become trademarked playing style, which blended the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility - a way of playing and improvising that was modern in conception but grounded deeply in the jazz tradition of melody, swing and the blues. With the release of his first album, Bright Size Life (1975), he reinvented the traditional "jazz guitar" sound for a new generation of players.
