Scientific novelty. For the first time, the thoughts of kobzars are described from the standpoint of divination of true Ukrainian history, the personification of the characteristic features of the national consciousness, in which there is no propaganda of aggressive beliefs, calls to seize foreign lands. The musical era of the Ukrainian people is a repentance for their sore path, passed with the dignity of a persistent seeker of truth. Thoughts of kobzars, reporting on the true Ukrainian history, personify the characteristic features of the national consciousness, in which there is no propaganda of aggressive beliefs, calls for the seizure of foreign lands. Kobzardom is an exceptional phenomenon not only in Ukrainian, but also in world culture. Its representatives, the kobzars, have kept the spiritual gene pool of the Ukrainian people for centuries, raised the national consciousness in it, told millennial wisdom, showed the truth of life, called for active actions, unity, and the fight against evil. The national reception presents the kobzar as a singing, meditating historian. The fact is confirmed that the most striking period of existence and flourishing of the kobzar is the period of the Cossacks. Conclusion. The art of playing the bandura, kobza and lyre is now receiving more attention. These musical instruments got more opportunities. Complex works of national and foreign classics are realized on these musical instruments. Today, kobzardom must be considered and analyzed as a socio-cultural phenomenon of the Ukrainian nation, as an achievement of national culture and as a historical and cultural type of European culture.
