Ukrainian Street Performers


Street performers in Ukraine are amazing.  Many of them are professional musicians, and they do not make enough money to get by, so they play near the metro to supplement their incomes.  It seems that nobody here makes enough to get by.  

We stopped to enjoy the music from many street performers.  A couple of our favorites were an old guitarist who played traditional Ukrainian music in an underground tunnel, and another elderly man who sang while he played a Ukrainian instrument with lots of strings called a bandura. Here are a couple of clips.

I am also uploading a video of some men performing a Gregorian chant in the Sofia church.
