From childhood, she was introduced to traditional Ukrainian music through the indigenous instrument, the bandura. She first visited Japan as a 10-year-old. After formal studying of music in the Ukraine from the age of 16, she returned to Japan in 2008 to further the understanding of Ukranian culture. The bandula is a traditional Ukranian instrument that combines the appearance of a harp with the frets of a guitar. The bandula used by Katerina has over 60 strings and weighs more than 8 kilos. Her performances feature Ukranian traditional music, folk songs and popular songs, as well as Japanese songs. Kateryna is a veteran of the inaugural WMDF (2008), and also the 2010 and 2019 events. We are really looking forward to welcoming her to our 15th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kateryna-music.jp\/\">https:\/\/www.kateryna-music.jp\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3019","artist","type-artist","status-publish","hentry","artistscat-artists015"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/3019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
