Balaklava Blues is the brainchild of Mark and Marichka Marczyk. The couple has toured an award-winning immersive folk opera about the Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv for about 5 years across the world. Falling somewhere between a traditional song cycle and a techno show, the duo fuses Ukrainian polyphony and other folk traditions with EDM, trap, dubstep, and more as a launching pad to explore the seemingly never-ending blues that have long emanated from the Ukrainian steppe.
