Andriy Khlyvnyuk is the singer for the Ukrainian band Бумбокс (BoomBox). They were on tour in the US when Russia invaded, and Khlyvnyuk went back home to join the fight. A video of Khlyvnyuk singing the Ukrainian folk song й у лузі червона калина ("Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow") went viral last month. You may have seen it or the Kiffness remix.
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour was looking for a way to help Ukraine. His daughter-in-law is Ukrainian. He had played with BoomBox in 2015, in better times. But he had considered Pink Floyd to be defunct since the death of keyboardist Rick Wright in 2008. They hadn't released any new music since 1994. However, in the wake of the Russian invasion, Gilmour called up drummer Nick Mason and bassist Guy Pratt. Gilmour tracked down Khlyvnyuk to a hospital, where he was recovering from shrapnel injuries. The band recorded a new song, "Hey Hey Rise Up" using Khlyvnyuk's vocals. You can read the story at The Guardian. You can download the song and help support Ukraine here. -via Nag on the Lake
