I occasionally happen upon remixes by South African musician and producer The Kiffness, which tend to be of short bits of viral audio/video (like this cat or this cat or this drill sergeant). This time, he’s remixed, with the singer’s permission, a Ukrainian folk song sung by Andriy Khlyvnyuk, who left his U.S. tour with his band Boombox to return home to fight against the Russians in Ukraine. The Kiffness has promised that “all royalty earnings from this video will be donated to humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian armed forces.” The Music Man reports that you can also buy the song on Bandcamp and profits will be donated to the Ukrainian crisis.

The song’s title translates as “Oh, The Red Viburnum in the Meadow,” and was written in 1914, according to Red Tree Times, “to honor the Sich Riflemen, a Ukrainian military unit that fought in WWI. The red viburnum or kalyna berry referenced in the song is a national symbol of Ukraine, representing the blood roots and connection to the homeland.”

Hopefully this mess will all be over sooner rather than later, and, as the song says, “And we, our glorious Ukraine, shall, hey – hey, cheer up – and rejoice!“
