Ukrainian accapella vocal group.

[Son of Clyde]

I wanted to post a link for this wonderful Ukrainian vocal group, Pikardiyska Tertsiya .

This is a Christmas album of Ukrainian and a few English folk songs.

I purchased another recording "Eldorado" by this group that is more in a pop vein and has instrumental backing.

I just purchased this cd online and although it is a cd of Christmas songs, I enjoy listening to it as much in April as I will in December.

Check out the sound samples at the bottom of the page.

Does anyone know where I can look on the internet for some traditional Russian/Ukrainian folk songs to purchase (preferably with music samples)?  I looked on the site Son of Clyde posted and I did not hear what I was looking for.  One of the singers I remember hearing was a male with a gravel type of voice, it reminded me of the Irish drinking songs with traditional instruments.
