The article studies vocal and instrumental bandura performance as a unique artistic phenomenon based on an organic synthesis of academic singing and folk instrumental timbre. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of the Ukrainian model of performance with pan-European practices, which made it possible to identify the specifics of the domestic vocal and bandura monoensemble. interaction of the voice with the chromatized bandura. The parity of vocal and instrumental training of a modern performer is emphasized. It is proved that this synthesis is an effective strategy for integrating the Ukrainian national sound into the European cultural space. The features of the uniqueness of the model studied have been identified, including systemic institutionalization, an organic combination of two performing practices and aesthetic convergence of folk authenticity with the principles of academic vocals. The article focuses on the viability of bandura art as a dynamic tool of cultural resistance and self-presentation of Ukraine in the world.
