Sons of the Steppes (Uk: Сини степів or Syny Stepiv ) is a Canadian–Ukrainian pop band from Montreal, Canada that performed in the 1970s and early 1980s.
[1][2] Like the popular Canadian band Rushnychok at the time,[3][4][5] the quartet used a set of instruments and a combination of rock and folk music, jazz and other styles.
All three of their albums were quite successful and popular not only in Canada and the US, but also in Europe and Soviet Ukraine (where they were distributed illegally through tape recordings).
[8] The musicians themselves possessed a diverse number of instruments and repeatedly joined other bands directly during performances.
[2] At the beginning of the 1980s, the ensemble ceased its activities, three of its members organized a new band "Вечірній дзвін" (Evening Bell)".
