Pororoka is Ukrainian dark-folk band founded in Kyiv in 2017 by singer Svitlana Sugak and guitarist Eugene Kolyada.
Early milestone of Pororoka's music(debut album "Pororoka" and EP "Полин") represents the mix of three different type of voices, grunge guitar, tender bandura, piano and djembe.
Pororoka is the name of wave, which appears twice in a year on Amazon River, when Atlantic Ocean invades into it. Some of the band's songs sound similar to Ukrainian folk music, but non of them belong to.
Pororoka raises topics of life and death, man's fate and love; represents the underground dark side of Ukrainian culture, its history, vibe and attitude.
