Fall in love with Odesa, Ukraine, the Pearl of the Black Sea! Kommuna Lux brings you the heritage music of their beloved hometown. Klezmer, Balkan, and Urban Chanson, with a dash of Ukrainian Folk and powered by rocket fuel, Kommuna Lux impacts the crowd with a nostalgic, high-energy Big Band sound from the bygone days of speakeasies and rum runners.

These conservatory-trained musicians started playing flash mobs in Odesa’s markets, piers, and streets and quickly moved up to local and national stages.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the band went into shock along with the rest of their countrymen. One musician even left to join the army. But the others soon decided they could do more good with their instruments than guns and began touring Europe earnestly to raise money and support for Ukraine. That summer, they raised thousands of dollars and became the “go-to band” for Klezmer music in Germany and Poland. Their first USA tour in the Fall of 2023 was so successful that they founded a 501-c3 non-profit to make it even easier to support Ukraine.

People don’t just listen to Kommuna Lux. They fall in love! No one can resist these playful, passionate Ukrainian musicians who have so much fun on stage that you get caught up in their joy.
