Ukrainian folk music includes a number of varieties of ethnic (traditional), folkloric, folk-inspired popular and folk-inspired classical traditions.
In the 20th century numerous ethnographic and folkloric ensembles were established in Ukraine and gained popularity.
During the Soviet era, music was a controlled commodity and was used as a tool for the indoctrination of the population. As a result the repertoire of Ukrainian folk music performers and ensembles was controlled and restricted.
