A band from Ukraine, KAZKA, will be playing at SXSW this coming weekend.
"The war started, we can't think about music. We think only about how to survive and how to defend our country and how to help. We were all volunteering," Zaritska said."They can and need to talk to their government, because the government can help," she said. "We all need donations because our cities [are] ruined, we also need armor, because we have soldiers, we have really cool guys who defend our country.
This year, they're still missing band members for SXSW. The band says the guitarist couldn't get his visa extended, and another musician playing woodwinds didn't get permission to leave Ukraine. They're still looking for a guitarist to play with them in Austin. Despite the challenges, the music is always there as an outlet for hope and resilience not only for the band, but for Ukrainians at home and abroad as well.
"Music has always been some therapy for us," Zaritska said. "I see, and I know it's also therapy for them. They're crying, they're laughing, they're smiling, and they're very thankful.. They will be performing on Saturday, March 18 at 10:10 p.m. at Inn Cahoots.
