Go_A — Music Videos

Traditional singing meets electronic momentum

Go_A is a Ukrainian electro folk group that brings traditional vocal techniques into a contemporary electronic setting. Singer Kateryna Pavlenko’s clear, penetrating delivery gives the music its immediately recognizable centre. Producers and instrumentalists build around that voice with programmed rhythms, dense bass, and folk colours such as the sopilka. The sound can feel both ancient and sharply modern, using repetition to turn a short melodic phrase into a growing surge of energy.

Solovey and Shum

“Соловей,” often written as “Solovey,” became the group’s entry for the cancelled 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. The following year brought “Шум,” or “Shum,” which introduced the group’s approach to another large international audience. These songs are connected by their strong rhythmic identities, but they create different kinds of tension. The voice remains a guide through the changing electronic layers, allowing the arrangements to become increasingly forceful without losing their melodic focus.

A band with a collective identity

The Eurovision era quartet comprised Pavlenko, Taras Shevchenko, Ihor Didenchuk, and Ivan Hryhoriak. Their music demonstrates how inherited song material can become a starting point for new construction. Go_A rewards listeners who enjoy dance music with a distinctive vocal presence, and those curious about Ukrainian traditions heard through an energetic contemporary arrangement.
