Grindzholy is a popular Ukrainian rap band most widely known for their song, Razom Nas Bahato, Nas Ne Podolaty, which became the unofficial anthem of the Ukrainian Orange Revolution in 2004. The literal translation of the song title is "Together there are many of us! We cannot be defeated!". It deliberately resembles a title of a famous Chilean anti-Pinochet resistance song, "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido" (The People United Will Never Be Defeated), written by composer Frederic Rzewski.
The band originates from the Ivano-Frankivsk region in Western Ukraine. In conjunction with various radio stations in the country, the band wrote a rap song to support the masses in their protest against the electoral fraud that took place during the Ukrainian presidential election.
The song became widely known in Ukraine, and was frequently played on many radio and TV stations. The song has been downloaded millions of times on the internet and has become an instant hit.
