Moustache Funk is a documentary about one of the brightest periods of Ukrainian pop music.
 

The early 70s is a golden epoch of our popular music. Hundreds of songs of exquisite beauty. Groundbreaking sound. Futuristic suits. How and whence could all of this emerge in a Soviet socialist republic?! How did a brand new music scene, original in sound and philosophy in every way, and at the same time absolutely in sync with global music trends come forth? Signature music, in a nutshell!
 

Under the direction of the Politburo, VIAs (vocal-instrumental ensembles) began to appear in the Ukrainein the late 1960s to become analogues of the Westernrock bands. But something went wrong: instead of loyal musicians, the government got a modern and original music scene. Smerichka, Berezen, Dzvony, Vodograi, Mriya, Svityaz, Zhyva Voda, Berkut, Vizerunky Shliakhiv, Muzyky, Kobza, Arnica and hundreds of them ensembles… practically in every Ukrainian town. These musicians did not like their bands to be called VIA. Now this music will have a new name - Moustache Funk!
 

The film is produced by the TTM studio with the support of the State Film Agency of Ukraine and the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. Idea and screenplay by Vitalii "Bard" Bardetskyi, director - Oleksandr Kovsh, DOP - Sergii Mishchenko, producer - Andrii Granytsia.
