Dnipropetrovsk Cossack songs (Ukrainian:Козацькі пісні Дніпропетровщини), the Zaporozhian Cossacks songs of the Dnipropetrovsk region, are listed as an intangible cultural heritage in need of urgent protection.[1][2][3] Cossack songs traditionally involve male singing.[4] Cossack songs are nowadays often performed by women, but rarely in mixed groups. UNESCO's list mentions the choral groups Krynytsia, Bohuslavochka, and Pershotsvit.[5][6]

List of Intangible Cultural Heritage

2014 in Dnipropetrovsk region began the initiative group of nomination dossier for inclusion of Cossack songs into the UNESCO Intangible Heritage List. On November 28, 2016, the Committee for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage List included Cossack songs of the Dnipropetrovsk region on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in need of urgent protection. According to the committee, these works, sung by Cossack communities in the region, talk about the tragedy of war and the personal experiences of soldiers. The lyrics maintain spiritual ties with the past, but are also entertaining.[1]
