We are finalising bits and pieces for the album release- mixing and mastering, registering and supplying boring legal staff, artwork and CD replication – all nearly there!
The summer is on the way for us to get lost in fests and celebrations again, now with our debut album Taras.

Album TARAS

On: February 25th, 2010 at | In: arts, design, music, the band

Just received Dmitry’s master of TARAS- the song that gave the name to the MuHa’s debut album which is due to release on 4th of July 2010- to coincide with US Independence Day. The song is very powerful- Ukrainian soul is riding the step!

Taras Bulba is a Cossack, a Ukrainian folk icon which was created by a genius Ukrainian writer Nikolai Gogol. His story is about strength, brotherhood, family, pride, the love to the motherland-to name just a few.

And the cover for MuHa’s album TARAS is being designed by my Ukrainian friend who does something like this :

What is Love is sang in English, Punjabi and Russian with the use of Kathak rhythm. Guitar, vocal, kouxian, singing frog.

Tech stuff: acoustic Ronald AC 60 amp, Shure SM 58 vocal mic, Boss RS 20XL loop station (has two inputs for guitar and for mic which is very useful). Recorded with a simple digital camera Pentax following a simple editing in Windows Movie maker.

What is Love

My Love

On: February 15th, 2010 at | In: music

I don’t sing many covers of Russian bands, only those that influenced me very much during my uncertain and a bit crazy 20s in the country that was still in convulsions of regime change a decade before. We play this one- My Love by the band called Auctyon.
