How Can I Not Love You, My Kyiv?
The Kyiv Retro concert programme by the band MOVA has already become a tradition of the annual Kyiv Day celebrations. We invite you on 31 May to immerse yourself in a retro atmosphere and share a love for our capital, celebrated in the legendary songs of the 1960s–80s.
MOVA will perform refined Ukrainian retro music, from well-known hits of past decades to new musical discoveries dedicated to Kyiv. Lecturer and host Albert Tsukrenko will seamlessly combine history, archival material and live music into a cohesive show.
Join us to hear how people fell in love in Kyiv in past decades, how they parted from their loved ones and awaited new meetings. Together, we will stroll through Kyiv’s streets in different seasons, from morning Podil to evening Khreshchatyk. We will drift along the blue waves of the Dnipro and admire its hillsides to the gentle melodies of a waltz.

MOVA explores and performs songs from the golden fund of Ukrainian popular music of the 1960s–80s. The band recreates compositions both as close as possible to the originals (Kazka, Mozhe ya tebe vyhadav) and in bold original arrangements (for example, Chervona Ruta in an acid jazz style in 5/8, Kyiv, My City in rhythm and blues). The name MOVA is an acronym formed from the names of the band’s founders.
