About Greenjolly

Every revolution has it's own song. In France it was La Marseillaise (which became their anthem). In Chile there was "Pueblo unido jamas sera vencido" - the song by Sergio Ortegi, who used the motto of Che Guevara. This phrase in Ukrainian became the anthem of Ukrainian Orange Revolution exactly "Razom Nas Bagato - Nas Ne Podolaty!" (Together we are many - we will not be defeated!)
This motto was created by Greenjolly (Gryndzholy) during 4 hours.

The song was downloaded more than 100.000 times only in two days after it became available online.

Who are Greenjolly? The group was found in 1997 by the reggae project "Nema Marli", which had the song "Greenjolly". This Hutsul word means "wooden sledge" and Ukrainian journalists named the group style "winter reggae"

The second life of the song was in Poland: 12 famous Polish rapers singers recorded this song in Polish and it was popular in broadcast.

Greenjolly taken part in several Ukrainian song contests: "Future of Ukraine" and "Melody" (1998) and "Pearl of the Season" (1999), in all these contest Greenjolly taken the second places.
