Okean Elzy - one of the most popular Ukrainian rock bands

Ukrainian rock (Ukrainian: Український рок) is rock music from Ukraine. The most popular bands include Komu Vnyz, Plach Yeremiyi, Taras Petrynenko, Vika, Tea Fan Club (TFC), Viy, Vopli Vidoplyasova, Flit and others. Opalnyi Prynz was, perhaps, the most influential rock band in the late 1980s and early 1990s, followed by its predecessor Loony Pelen.[citation needed] Okean Elzy, featuring Svyatoslav Vakarchuk has long been among the most popular bands of Ukrainian pop-rock, and has had some success abroad. The band Mandry is known for fusing traditional Ukrainian music with rock, blues, reggae and chansons. The pop-singer Ruslana also uses some elements of rock in her work.

The Chervona Ruta was a very important Ukrainian rock music festival.
