Folk Music from Ukraine: The Polyphony Project

We are all thinking about our neighbors in Ukraine right now. Some of us never really knew exactly where it is, exactly how big it is, and how rich it is in history and culture. I found a huge anthology of folk music in the IMSLP earlier today and have been playing through the songs this evening. I also came across this fantastic project (The Polyphony Project) organized by group of people who have been collecting songs from (mostly older) people in the villages of Ukraine. They have a YouTube channel. This is where I have started, and where I will be listening. But I wanted to share this channel right away.
