Ukrainian Dutch Music
by Nastya and Richard

March 26, 2022

Nastya Sulymenko, who had fled from Ukraine, and Richard Rhemrev, the pianist in the sixties band Ruych performing that evening in Podium Doesburg Gasthuiskerk (for a Ukraine benefit concert in Doesburg), rehearsed less than 3 minutes before their first performance that evening. They couldn’t have imagined that this would result in studio recordings (about four months after March 26) followed by the release of a CD HOPE.

About one year later the second album  FAITH was recorded en released. More complex, more instruments too, drums and bass. But a great result. And we were able to finance the whole production ourselves because of the paid performances. And now, working on “The Third” 😊



The first rehearsal!

 

                                    March 26, 2022, we needed less than three minutes to rehearse The Red Flower, a magical moment! And we  played this song that evening to an audience of 120 people!
