YELKA's INFO
YELKA [єлька] — such a pseudonym was adopted by ethno-singer Svitlana Bulanova from Kropíwnítskyj in honor of her grandmother: Olena Rybalkina, who was called «Yelka» in the village.
She knew hundreds of folk songs, and also treated people with herbs, raised ten children, experienced the Holodomor… Nevertheless, she started each day with a song and accompanied the sunset with a song.
Each of us has his own «Baba Yelka» — a granny who could not be imagined without a song. They worked with a song, grew with a song, got married and went to the better worlds with a song....

THE BABA YELKA PROJECT
The Baba Yelka project is dedicated to Ukrainian folk songs, their search, preservation, and promotion. Founded in honour of grandmothers who are living bearers of the Ukrainian tradition.
Modestly living in the most forgotten Ukrainian villages, they have a great wealth - knowledge of lyrics and melodies of folk songs, which are passed from mouth to mouth from generation to generation.
The participants of the Baba Yelka project focus on finding and popularizing authentic songs collected in their native land — that is, in the Kropíwnítskyj region (ex-soviet Kirovograd district) in central Ukraine.
The idea of the project belongs to ethno performer Svitlana Bulanova, journalist and editor of «Nova Gazeta» Inna Tilnova, and PR manager Victoria Semenenko.
The project is implemented with the media support of the regional publication «Nova Gazeta».
Photographers of the project: Aleksandr Maiorov, Michael Andrews.
Journalists: Inna Tilnova, Viktoria Semenenko, Svitlana Listyuk, Igor Krushenitsky
