The collective tours a lot in Europe (Germany, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Romania, Sweden, Italy, USA and Canada), participated in the festivals "Lowlands", "Sziget", "Volt", "Mundial". The band's style combines rock, dub, punk and ska, Ukrainian and Balkan folk music. The band was founded in the early 1990s by a group of Kyiv students of KPI. On February 7, 1991, the members of the two teams formed a new group - "Cactus" without the first letter - the second name of the singer and poet who created the group, Vadym Prudnikov. After a month and a half, the first concerts took place. The first pop-blues program "Ми — є". The first year turned out to be the most difficult in the history of "Actus". Decisive actions and inspired creativity until the end of 1991 are replaced by heavy depression of musicians. Andriy Rizol took on organizational work and improving the psychological climate in the band. "Aktus" began to revive. With the gradual end of the revolution on the Maidan and the beginning of the war with Russia in the east of the country, a new wave of creativity and social activity of the Haydamaks begins. Together with the Polish DJ Cai Caslavinieri, the song "Arkana!" is created, a kind of appeal to the separatists, recorded on the basis of the melody of the traditional Ukrainian dance Arkan. In addition to performing at the front during 2014- 2015, the band also performed in military hospitals in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and Kyiv. These concerts were extremely difficult for the musicians morally, but really very necessary for the wounded soldiers. Gratitude Thank you all for your attention and see you soon!
