Abstract
The national character of Ukrainian pop music today is determined by the appeal of folklore at various levels. This way of creating compositions leads to such types of interrelationship of folklore with jazz, pop and rock music, arrangements of folk songs, folk music and citation of materials, creation of original compositions based on folklore, fusion of the national manner of performing non-folklore. Today, songs that are synthesized in ethnic motifs and folklore in a modern setting are popular. But back in the 70s, B. Ivasiuk and the Chervona Ruta vocal and instrumental band were the founders of this approach. So far, the arrangements of folk melodies by the band "Chervona Ruta" have been used by popular rock bands - "Haydamaki", "Mandry", "Perkalaba", "Hutsul calypso", "Kobza original", "Crying", "Down" and others. The modern Ukrainian pop band continues the tradition and modernizes its songs in various interpretations. The paper studies the features of the "Chervon Ruta" festival from 1988 to 2016. The focus is on continuing the traditions of the participants of the ensemble festival of the same name. The practical significance is to highlight the directions of musical creativity of the bands that continue (transform) the traditions of the Chervona Ruta ensemble. Keywords: "Chervona Ruta", festival, Ukrainian music, pop standard.
