It has been almost a month since Russia invaded Ukraine. A number of towns were destroyed due to the war between the two countries and citizens fled to nearby border areas where they took refuge in refugee camps. Among the grim news pouring in, a wholesome video of a Ukrainian jazz band playing their set on a club balcony has gone viral online.
In fact, the biggest jazz club in Odessa Ukraine performed on the balcony because it was closed due to the war. A short clip of their performance was posted on Twitter by Global National News Senior Correspondent Jeff Semple.
In the now viral video, the band can be seen performing on the balcony of Odessa’s “biggest jazz club”. They sang and played soothing music for the crowd that gathered around the building. While some enjoyed the music and sipped coffees, others admired the soulful melodies from afar.
“The biggest jazz club in Odessa is closed because of the war. So they played from his balcony,” the post’s caption read.
