ABOUT
Traveling the World – a contemporary folk/world music band from Rivne, Ukraine. (Founded in 2015)
Our music is a way to connect traditions with modernity. In an absolutely non-standard manner, we combine ancient ethnic tunes from different regions all over the world with modern music standards, jazz improvisation, contemporary composition, and progressive music trends of today.
Ethnic features of every song are underlined with characteristic rhythmic patterns and special sound qualities of acoustic instruments, while electronic elements provide an influence of modernity that helps to integrate unfamiliar listeners into the traditions of world music.
We are six:
Volodymyr Piddubnyk – clarinet, EWI, bandleader
Mykola Piddubnyk – piano
Max Drum – drums, percussion
Zhanna Bychkovska – vocal, electronics, percussion
Tymofiy Mulyarchuk – bass
Sergiy Mostovyi – hammered dulcimer
In our first album “ANCIENT. Vol.1” (2016), we performed Celtic, Klezmer, Middle Eastern music, tunes from Ukraine, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, ancient Slavic melodies, and more. The music presented in the album is mostly instrumental, while our latest works are songs that are more influenced by jazz.
Our main aim is to travel the world with our music!
