Kobza art is a unique phenomenon not only in Ukrainian but in world music culture as well. For centuries its performers have kept inward gene pool of Ukrainian nation, developed and upheld national consciousness, handed generation evolution down through kobzar songs about famous historical events and praised heroic figures of Ukrainian nation.
Long ago kobza players used kobzas and banduras (as technically improved musical instrument) to accompany their songs and ballads.

The repertoire of the group contains Ukrainian folk and modern songs, classical music from the world treasury, instrumental and vocal compositions of Ukrainian and foreign authors, folk compositions of different nations of the world. Most of the group participants have musical education. And though all of them work or study at the educational institutions according to their interests, they have been connected with music, in particular with bandura, for more than 10 years.
