Every one of KOZAK SYSTEM’s concerts is a powerful show. It is a brilliant presentation of an exquisite synthesis of Ukrainian and Worldwide music treasures and an explosion of power from every instrument played by six highly professional musicians. A KOZAK SYSTEM concert is an instantaneous dialogue with the audience featuring riotous dancing, breathtaking solos and an unparalleled stage performance. A concert by KOZAK SYSTEM is a truly large-scale event with no limits.
 
It’s a bright, very hardworking and straight up band.
