INFORMATION ABOUT THE UKRAINAN SONG "WILD DANCES"
"We have been creating the Song so that it would sound like an anthem",
Ruslana says. "Not like an anthem of a particular country", she adds, "but
as an anthem of freedom and of those people that strive to be free. By this
song and its philosophy we are calling upon the people to be real, free and
unconquerable, like the elements of nature, to strive for motion, to go
forward and break stereotypes.
"The Wild Dances" is a modern and a dancing hit. At the same time the
song possesses a lot of ethnical features. Unique character of the
picturesque land of the Hutsuls permeates the song through the sounds of
ethnical music instruments, elements of the Hutsul traditional dance,
Kolomyika, vivid exclamations 'Hey! Hey!' and 'dana-dana'.
At the same time, in my opinion, the sound gets more 'mature': it becomes
heavier, stronger, richer and gets close to real rock. Myself and Iryna
Mazur, the director of Life ballet group, when staging the dancing part of
the song used really 'wild' movements: very frequent jumps, abrupt curtseys,
using tambourines and whips in dancing etc.........
The majority of the viewers did not understand a word in Ukrainian, some of
them did not even want to know anything about Ukraine itself, but they would
all of the sudden start jumping and getting crazy in the Wild Dances'
rhythms! This convinced us in the fact that the new song will have to be
even more energetic. So it has come out like this."
