Source-derived summary

DZIDZIO (Ukrainian: ДЗІДЗЬО) is a Ukrainian band with a comedic bent to their music.

This band was founded on 9 September 2009 in Novoiavorivsk, Lviv Oblast. It gained its popularity on the internet in part due to their "fourth member", a pig named Meison, with his snout serving as the band logo.

The band released two albums, ХА-ХА-ХА (Ha Ha Ha) in 2012, and DZIDZIO Хіти (DZIDZIO Hits) in 2014.

DZIDZIO performed benefit concerts in support of the Euromaidan movement.

The band appeared at the end of the first episode of the first season of the TV series Servant of the People and performed Sama-sama.

In March 2016, Lesyk (Oleh Turko), one of the band's founders, left the band due to a scandal. According to Dzidzio (Mykhailo Khoma), Lesyk did not agree with the band's move to Kyiv, so he wanted to sell his share of property rights for UAH 5.2 million, which the other members refused to buy. As a result, Lesyk demonstratively presented his share in the band to Andriy Kuzmenko's mother at a UNIAN press conference, and guitarist Orest Halytskyi, known as Lyamur (Yulyk's godfather), joined the band. According to Muzvar, the case of the band's breakup and the conflict between the members was included in the TOP-5 most famous cases of breakdowns in the Ukrainian music industry.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2009, 2012, 2014, 2016—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2009-01-01. The account is most persuasive where Dzidzio, Ukrainian and music can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ukrainian music band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 1, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q12100981. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2012, 2014 and 2016.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
