Konoplenko, who focused on the violin and guitar during his early musical studies, switched to the kobza when the renowned player Danylo Potapenko presented him with a 150-year-old instrument. Konoplenko modernized the kobza, adding frets, and forged a successful career as a soloist. He also wrote several books on the instrument. The liner notes feature a brief history of the kobza and it's importance in Ukrainian culture. The notes also include background on each tune as well as song lyrics in Ukrainian and English.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Cossack Was Leaving For War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Black Cloud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO, Betrothed Maiden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOh My Mother Told Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Your Cherry Lips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUkranian Folk Dances: Highlander's Kolomeyka\/Carpathian Dance\/Choomak\/Doodochka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBayda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO, Green Oak Tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlow, Wind, Unto Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere Stands A Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Bundle Of Jocund Folk Songs: If I But The Magic Knew\/Be Gone, Death!\/John Was Sowing Millet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984777695453,"sku":"093070870529","price":641.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/1506409.jpg?v=1762928020","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/en-tw\/products\/paul-konoplenko-zaporozetz-the-kobza","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
