Vopli Vidopliassova’s Tantsi and the Culture of Nonconformists in Late Soviet Kyiv
Veranstaltungsort: Klangwerkstatt, Humboldt-Forum, 17:45 Uhr Treffpunkt Schlüterhof im Humboldt-Forum, vor der Tür zum Museumsshop
In 1989, a curious artifact began to circulate among Kyivan nonconformists: a semi-illicit cassette tape of the first Ukrainian punk band, Vopli Vidopliassova (“Ve-Ve,” or VV, for short). Sashko Pipa, the band's original bass player, described the album as a musical commentary on "the hypocrisy of life in the late Soviet Union." The cassette album, Tantsi (Dances), included many songs in the Ukrainian language, marking a departure from the Russocentrism of Soviet youth musical subcultures at the time. As the tape circulated through a precarious circular economy that improbably linked the local Komsomol (Communist Youth League) newspaper’s music pages to a newly formed tape-dubbing collective, it did much to shore up the community of Kyiv neformaly (nonconformists), who cultivated modes of existence detached from the Soviet mainstream. For these nonconformists, VV’s Tantsi contributed to the emergence of idiosyncratic new forms of Ukrainian pride and belonging.
Maria Sonevytsky is author of Wild Music: Sound and Sovereignty in Ukraine (2019), winner of the 2020 Lewis Lockwood First Book Prize from the American Musicological Society. Her second book, Vopli Vidopliassova’s Tantsi (2023), is accompanied by the first official release of the seminal Ukrainian punk band’s 1989 album Tantsi, which Sonevytsky produced for the label Org Music. She is currently at work on a third book project focused on Soviet children’s music in Ukraine. She teaches at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.
