Zabavka: Ukrainian underground

Vika Zabavka (Забавка) is an authentic singer, songwriter, and the sweet-voiced siren of the Podillia underground. The artist possesses a clear, emotional, powerful, and at the same time ambient tone, along with a striking stage presence that sets her apart on the Ukrainian music scene and leaves a lasting impression.

Zabavka's musical style walks a fine line between indie-folk, sung poetry, and modern romance; the artist also releases electronic tracks with Imagination Project. In her work, Zabavka explores themes of freedom, love, and inner states, as well as modern struggles and faith. Many of Zabavka's songs are set to music based on poems by Ukrainian poets.
