The album was created as the part of the “Misto to go-2” – the second part of the international theatre project with schoolchildren from six Donbass towns and villages: Komyshuvakha, Troitske, Raigorodok, Bachmut, Popasna and Mykolaivka.
Here’s what Yuriy Gurzhy has to say: «Are there any songs about Komyshuvakha, Popasna or Raigorodok? Troitske? Or maybe Mykolaivka? Together with the kids we figured out that there were very few such songs. Actually, they don't exist at all. We decided to correct that and started looking for topics: female football, the chalk mountains, “Vostok nightclub” (The East), the quarantine restrictions, drifting on a school bus on the Donbass autobahn, eventually we recorded 12 songs on all these subjects.
All the children I’ve had the honor to work with in Donbass are superstars. In each school where we recorded our songs in classrooms and cold auditoriums,– we met future ukrainian Spice Girls, Nicki Minaj, or maybe even Slipknot. So, this album release is not the end of the project, – it’s just the beginning, at least, I hope so”.
