The Sound of a Nation (Part Two)

We dig deep into cross-cultural exploitation and global pride. Thank you again to my guest Sgt. Major Denver Dill from Westpoint Academy for some powerful examples of how music unites us in good times and in bad.

To listen/watch the examples listed in this episode, here are some links:

Andriy Khlyvnyuk, lead singer of the Ukrainian band Boombox ended his World Tour early to fight for his country. When the streets were bare in Kiev, he took to Instagram and recorded himself singing the Ukrainian folk song The Red Viburnum in the Meadow in the empty streets of Kiev. 

This was the result.
