Each Christmas, the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi fills its Central Square with the sound of ancient carols for "Koliaduiut Chernivtsi." Local folk ensembles in traditional costume revive the old Bukovynian melodies, in a young but heartfelt festival that brings the region's centuries-old caroling tradition out into the heart of the city.
The Carolers of Chernivtsi record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
