Since their formation in 2011, Zapovid has been one of Canada's hardest-working Ukrainian bands, striving to bring their unique folk-rock sound to international crowds of all ages! The five members that make up the band have a mission to take their energetic music to the limits, not only in Toronto, but everywhere in the world! Wanting to raise the bar set by their debut album "Dity Rodu Kozatskoho" in 2015, Zapovid is currently supporting their second full-length album, "Radiohvyli" released in early 2019. The new album reaches new heights of quality in songwriting, original ideas, performance and ambition.
