Brother's Ivan is a prominent musical ensemble that has dedicated itself to the celebration and preservation of Ukrainian folk music. Renowned for their rich and emotive interpretations of Ukraine's cultural heritage, they have successfully released a string of albums that encapsulate the spirit and history of their homeland. With their music often shaped by the themes of patriotism and nostalgia, each volume of their celebrated series, "Ukrainian Folk Music," takes listeners on a journey through the various facets of Ukrainian traditional music, from the valor in "Glory to the Heroes" to the intimate reflections in "Songs of Love & Devotion."

Their work extends beyond mere recordings; it acts as a historical archive and a medium of cultural transmission, ensuring that the threads of Ukrainian identity continue to resonate through the ages. Albums like "Mother Ukraine" and "From Village to Village" underline the group's commitment to telling the story of their nation, from its rural roots to the complexities of its national consciousness. With collaborations like "Nadya's Song" featuring Steve Baughman & Robin Bullock, Brother's Ivan has also demonstrated a flair for intercultural dialogue, bringing the Ukrainian musical narrative to a global audience and fostering appreciation for their rich folkloric traditions.
