Koka
A small label based in Poland, dedicated to Ukrainian music, new and old. I have selected a few titles shown below that exhibit a high level of musicianship and diversity, from the traditional rural music of the Tafiychuk Family to the minimalist modernism of Svitlana Nianio. If excellent music is not enough (it should be!), these CDs all come in very unique packages, with rough-hewn printed papers with a hand-made feel, artistic gate-fold designs with additional little booklets and inserted art work; a few even have bits of hand embroidery incorporated into the design. You can see an example here

Hutsulshchyna No 2 - Tafiychuk Family
$22.99
(cdRoots# koka-034)
Volume two of the music by this family from the Hutsul village of Bukovets, between Kosiv and Verkhovyna in the Ukrainian part of the Carpathian Mountains focuses on songs and improvisations of traditional melodies performed on violin and instruments such as sopilka, floiara, telenka among others. As with all Koka Records, this is beautifully packaged, and annotated in English.
