How could they celebrate
joyous occasions and music
amongst such tragedy?
However, the answer was
simple: People still needed a
musical outlet.
“We understood that we
needed to be strong and to
have humor,
” Gitlin says,
who like other band mem-
bers of Kommuna Lux is of
military age (Kommuna Lux
must return to Ukraine after
60 days of being in the U.S.
following their summer charity
tour).
Some of Kommuna Lux’s
music is boisterous and lively,
he explains, and lends a
party-like atmosphere to their
live shows. Other songs are
more solemn and serious,
especially those that take their
roots from Odessa’s gangster
past.
Reflective of both the sorrow
and joy of the Ukrainian spirit,
one thing is for certain: their
music instills an emotional
response, one Gitlin says is
necessary in difficult times.
Also, fans have the opportu-
nity to give back to important
humanitarian causes.
During the band’s fall
2023 U.S. tour, for example,
Kommuna Lux raised $16,000
in donations that allowed them
to purchase a Chevrolet SUV
and truck for the Ukrainian
army.
Gitlin says the band is using
funds from their upcoming
U.S. tour, which is hitting East
Coast and Midwest cities, to
help people injured by the
ongoing war. Donations will
be given to the Rotary Club’s
Hospital Beds for Kramatorsk
project, which funds new
special beds for victims of
severe burns at hospitals across
the front lines in Ukraine.
After returning to Ukraine,
the band plans to visit the
United States once more with a
West Coast fundraising tour in
the fall that will also hit stops
in Canada.
As one of Europe’s leading
Klezmer bands, Kommuna
Lux is excited for their first
Michigan visit. “It’s going to be
a new experience for us,
” Gitlin
says. “We will have fun.
