R.U.T.A. nominated in Songlines Music Awards
R.U.T.A. has been nominated for the Songline award 2014 for Best Group for their album "Na uschod. Wolność albo śmierć", recorded with the Ukrainian band Hulaygorod and Belarusian singer Nasta Niakrasava. The contest results will be announced on April 25th.
We are honoured by this award, especially when it is considered to be the voice of ethnic music scene supporters from around the world. We also enjoy the illustrious company in which R.U.T.A. has found itself. – says Maciej Szajkowski, the founder of R.U.T.A.
Also nominated for the best group award are the legendary Celtic group Clannad and Tuareg group Tamikrest. In other categories, some famous artists such as Manu Chao, the Ethiopian jazz legend Mulatu Astatke and Malian singer Bassekou Kouyaté appear.
The message of the “Na uschod” album has taken on special, prophetic significance in the last three months. We're wholeheartedly with our friends from Ukraine and we believe that as in Kiev, as in Moscow, freedom will triumph" - adds Szaja Bisurman.
R.U.T.A. is an abbreviation of Ruchu Utopii, Transcendencji, Anarchii – Movement Utopia, Transcendence, Anarchy. Musicians from two different scenes meet here - punk and traditional folk music – to create lively and engaging music which is not afraid of confrontation. The titles of their songs refer to tradition, the forgotten fate of former enslaved people and lower social classes , and express concern for the contemporary social and political situation.
The winners of the competition will be selected by the editors of Songlines, and the results of the contest will be announced on 25th of April. Last year, the Kapela ze wsi Warszawa (Warsaw Village Band) was also nominated for an award.
