Band "Vily" performs music in the style of folk-rock, inspired by history and mythology of the Great Steppe in all the richness of its images - the Sarmatian virgins Amazons and nomads of Genghis Khan, the Varangian expeditions to south and the Slavic temples. Musicians complement their vision of the ancient world and folk traditions with stylish arrangements, and in these compositions two worlds meet and merge together - the world of ancient paganism and modernity.

If man steals these wings, Vila surely will come to him to ask them to return. Vilas have mellifluous voice, that charm people.
