[edit] Lead Section
The Introduction has nothing to do with the Music of Ukraine, but instead lists the location and ethnic groups of Ukraine. It should just be deleted or revised so that it would summarize the article's main points giving a good overview of the music. (See: Wikipedia:Lead section)--Boguslav 01:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- It is useful, and shoud be kept. There are still a lot of people who have no idea where and what it is. Ethnic composition info is extremely useful for music.Galassi 01:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

- Ethnic info, however, doesn't provide information about Ukrainian Music. The topic of this article is not the
location of Ukraineand theethnic backgrounds of Ukraine, but the Music of Ukraine. The lead section should be an overview of the topic of the article. You should read the Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Introductory material and Wikipedia:Lead section, where this is clearly stated. --Boguslav 02:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree that Ukrainian black metal should be represented in this article, such as Kroda, Hate Forest, Drudkh, and a couple more of the well-known bands.
