Eduard Drach (Ukrainian: Едуард Драч), born 1965 in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, in the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union (present-day Ukraine), is a composer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He is an active member of the Kiev Kobzar Guild. The author of numerous songs in a variety of styles, Drach is noted in particular for his original psalms in the Ukrainian historical folk style.[1][2][3][4][5]

Drach was educated as a physician[6] and still works as a neurologist, his career in music notwithstanding. His first instrument was the violin. He went on to become a prize-winning singer-songwriter at numerous festivals, in particular the 1989 Chervona Ruta Festival.

Drach's musical styles include ballads, traditional folk songs, folk rock, folk jazz, and folk avant-garde. Apart from the violin, he also plays guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, kobza, bandura, husli, and lira.[7] Several of his songs have been adapted for lute or torban by Roman Turovsky.[8]
