Ukraine in Zug: Hudaki Village Band and culinary specialties - a feast for the palate and ears as direct aid for Ukraine


At last it has worked out and the nine-piece Hudaki Village Band can leave their home village in Transcarpathia to go on a concert tour.
to go on a concert tour. On their return journey to Ukraine, they make a stopover at the Buvette Quai Pasa on Lake Zug. Reason enough to celebrate with music and food specialties from chef Oksana. The proceeds will go directly to orphanages in the war zones.

This concert by the Hudaki Village Band in Zug had been planned for a long time, but it had to be canceled again and again because musicians fit for military service had to remain in the country as reservists. And even now, the dulcimer player was not granted permission to leave the country and had to be replaced. In general, communicating with the group is depressing because you are often interrupted by alarm sirens and people have to get to a safe shelter quickly. The joy of a family celebration with rousing music and Ukrainian food should be all the greater on this day.

Upbeat music in the fight for survival

The Hudaki Village Band has been playing its rousing music at festivals, weddings and funerals with the same line-up for almost 25 years. This music has been handed down from their ancestors, is traditional and yet timeless, but above all cheerful and full of joy. This is more important than ever in the current situation in their country. With their income, they look after teenagers in Nischnje Schelischtsche who are suffering from the turmoil of war, who have lost their loved ones and whose homes have been bombed.

In addition to the Ukrainian sounds, there is freshly prepared food from chef Oksana. The national dish borscht, the vegetable soup with beetroot and cabbage, is simply a must. Other delicacies include vareniki (dumplings) with various fillings, golubzi (cabbage rolls) and the sweets pirizki and medovik. The proceeds from the culinary specialties go directly to an orphanage for disabled children in Ladyschynka, located halfway between Kiev and Odessa. Oksana knows from her own experience that the situation for disabled people in her home country is particularly difficult, as she herself has a child with trisomy 21.

This collaboration between "Zuger Donschtig" and the Buvette Quai Pasa underlines the solidarity with Ukraine. It should be a peaceful
Sunday afternoon on the shores of Lake Zug, but it should also make people aware of how close happiness and suffering are to each other. Every little help
Every little help counts, from listening and dancing to the music of the Hudaki Village Band to eating the delicious food prepared by Oksana Vidor.
