Alina Pasha, who mixes Ukrainian ethno motives and hip-hop, presents her unreleased songs at the Aprize music award ceremony on Feb. 28, 2020, at Caribbean Club in Kyiv. Pash was nominated for the best album of the year prize.

If the Ukrainian music industry consisted solely of the songs played on local radio stations, it would be dominated by pop. Rock and electronic music would be rarities. And hip-hop would be nearly unheard of.

The reality, of course, is very different.
