Listen now
Description
In Episode 46 of The Blender, we sit down with our own Bohdan Andrusyshyn, a.k.a. Danchyk, the American-born singer who won legions of fans in Belarus for choosing to sing in their vanishing native language. Danchyk takes us from his early days as a darling of New York's Ukrainian and Belarusian immigrant communities to his first performance in Minsk in 1989 -- and shares some great music, in Belarusian and English, along the way.
