The Ukrainians - Щедрик - Shchedryk (Carol of the Bells) OFFICIAL VIDEO

A new take on 'Shchedryk' (Carol of the Bells) by 'The Ukrainians' fusing traditional Slavic sounds with western rock, whilst exploring the song's pagan origins.

"Shchedryk is based on pre-Christian folk chants and a traditional folk tale. The lyrics tell the story of a swallow that flies into a home to announce the arrival of a bountiful and prosperous new year."
