GRAM Live: new Ukrainian music during the war.

GRAM Live is a series of live video concerts held by the Kyiv music bar ½ GRAM. GRAM Live showcases a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from folk and rock to pop, jazz, and electronica. Small concerts by big talents!
Ukrainian musicians who stayed in Ukraine are going through difficult times. Due to the war, the opportunities for concert activity are severely limited. It became very difficult to take away the circumstances of constant shelling and personal losses. GRAM decided to organize a project that would give music lovers a chance to enjoy performances of the brightest, but still mostly unknown, Ukrainian musical talents. We have set ourselves a significant objective — to showcase the formidable potential of Ukrainian performers and establish a cool creative space for the exchange of ideas and news. Furthermore, using the capabilities of YouTube and other streaming platforms, we would like to focus on promoting the new Ukrainian music scene abroad.
Today, this scene is experiencing a real boom. Currently, a multitude of fresh artists, initiatives, and alliances are surfacing, all of which are collectively shaping a novel facet of Ukrainian music. GRAM Live concerts are influenced by the concept and format of NPR's renowned Tiny Desk Concerts; however, we, hopefully, possess our own distinctive approach and vibe of chamber performances. GRAM Live commenced in the summer of 2023, and by the end of 2024, a total of 22 short video concerts will be produced, with each episode lasting between 15 and 22 minutes. We pay particular attention to high-quality audio recordings of concerts. Additionally, we supplement the performances with short interviews in which the musicians share their experiences, impressions, and reflections during the war.
Performers who have already participated in the project: NAZVA, Zgarda, Er..J. Orchestra, LUIKU, Andrii Barmalii, Kryhitka, DK Energetyk, ADAM, MOVA, Maria Burmaka, Mari Cheba, Stas Koroliov, Stars & Mellow, RADZ, Disappeared Completely, Evgeny Dubovyk, Pyrih i Batih, Latexfauna….
GRAM Live will become a musical chronicle of a difficult period in the history of our country.
