“I am very glad that finally, after a short break, I am returning to concert activities. It was very important for me to present the album “Peace in the Family” live in Kyiv,” singer Olya Rakitska announced from the stage.
Recently, a solo concert by Olya Rakitska took place in a Kyiv venue. The artist presented her album “Peace in the Family” and resumed her concert activity after a hiatus. The singer went on stage accompanied by musicians, which added lively energy to each song, creating an unforgettable experience for the audience.
The concert lasted an hour and a half and was divided into two parts. The first part was a presentation of the singer’s newly released album “Peace in the Family”. This part carried the values that Olya Rakitskaya promotes in her work, so the artist met her audience in a blue outfit that symbolizes harmony and well-being. The second part of the concert was more expressive and unexpected. The singer in an orange outfit presented as many as 7 new songs, as well as new versions of her Russian-language tracks, such as “My City” and “If you love, then the most, the most”. For the first time, she performed her hit song “Sun” in Ukrainian, which she dedicated to her daughter.
Throughout the concert, Olya actively communicated with the audience. The artist spoke in Ukrainian. It was her first experience to conduct a concert entirely in Ukrainian. Olya was very sincere and frank with the audience and admitted that she was worried about her correct pronunciation.
The audience expressed their support for the singer with loud applause.
It was symbolic that Olya Rakitskaya, a singer from Donetsk, ended the concert with the anthem of her home football club Shakhtar, Orange Sun. The artist performed this song as an encore.
A special moment of the evening was the auction in support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Among the valuable and exclusive lots were a bottle of Artemivsk champagne from Bakhmut, which was purchased for UAH 100 thousand, a T-shirt signed by all FC Shakhtar members, and a postage stamp with a trident made of genuine Azovstal steel. UAH 162 thousand was raised for the 32nd Tank Mechanized Brigade.
The concert ended with a standing ovation, and Olya Rakitskaya triumphantly returned to her concert activities, confirming her status as a singer whom the audience loves with all their hearts.
