Marina Yurasova "Mlada" is Ukrainian singer performing in an ethno-jazz-pop style which can be characterized as an imaginative folklore. This style supposes the usage of not only folklore but also folklike art songs. Mlada learned to play piano in a music school. From 1994 till 99 she entered Vocal Department of Glier Music College in Kiev. During college days she began to write art songs, owing to which she came to famous Ukrainian festival ”Chervona Ruta - 97” and became a diplomant of that festival. At the same time she began to perform as a jazz vocalist. From 1998 she took part in different art projects of Ukrainian jazz bands, and also set up exclusive concert programmes, which she performed in the musical clubs of Kyiv. Favorite programmes of the audience: “Capricorn's dreams” (2002) – lyrical jazz project. “Children project” (2004) – based on children songs from movies and cartoons. “Bjork acoustic project” (2005) – based on songs of the famous singer Bjork arranged in modern jazz version. Mlada's art career started on 2002 with a meeting of a well-known Ukrainian drummer Sergey Tabunshchik, now a composer and producer of the singer. Her album “Oy vesna, vesna …,” (Oh spring, spring…) 2005 which introduces an original vision of folklore, turned to be her visiting card. “Ukrainian folk song and Mlada's unique voice in combination with modern trends give an opportunity to create really exclusive product sounding new and original” – Sergey believes. Leaving unchanged beautiful original melodies, Mlada offers to view familiar folklore stories in other settings passing them through her lyric, womanly, sincere, romantic image.
