History
The Ukrainian word Onuka translates to "granddaughter," a tribute to lead singer Zhyzhchenko's grandfather and renowned folk-instrument maker, Oleksandr Shlionchyk. Zhyzhchenko started her music career as a member of the band Tomato Jaws, a band that she started with her brother. Tomato Jaws remained active for 11 years. Several of its songs were remixed by Filatov's band The Maneken, ultimately leading to the creation of Onuka. The band's instrumentation includes electronic drums, trombones, French horns and the Ukrainian folk instruments bandura and sopilka. Lead singer Nata Zhyzhchenko believes that old traditions and classic folk instruments (such as the bandura and sopilka) disappeared in the Soviet Union.
