That was beautiful, what a fascinating instrument!

"Because virtually every song that is performed on a bandura is sung in the Ukrainian language, it has curiously never been subjected to russification, as has occurred with most other Ukrainian cultural objects and practices. Instead, it was the subject of Russian oppression for many years and this has galvanised its underlying reputation as the quintessential national instrument and indeed a symbol of Ukrainian freedom."
