I was asked for many times about russian music - becouse I also consider that probably some of you haven't any idea about our culture and especcially music. As well as we have here some really good and soulful catching songs and bands and singers. Just Ok...Let me introduce you some of them. With a bit of pre-hystories concerning this music.

blur_kiwi noticed that this band sounds like russian Blur - and I will probably agree. Quite diverse melody and music.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztKl8qqZr0c Bi-2 (in fact it is Russian-austrilian band as its members lived for long in Melbourn as I know. That's probably the reason why they have such a european sound)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XASAjkNKVV4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOb7JvpUM1w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh6ap78U2Xw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KEFBk0ZpsM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wofpergPMg8 The next song is very special for all those who grew up in 90's becouse it is from OST to the famous film Brat (Brother) where one of the most popular and adorable in Russia actor Sergej Bodrov was staring. His tragic death was kinda national tragedy. And that song song will always remind of him. You can see him in that video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2vtaxtf8QQ The next band - Nautilus Ponpilus had also a very huge influence on all russian people, music and art. It was popular until the 90's and then it doesn't exist anymore thought their leader singer Butusov continue making good music, but not as soulful and touching as it was in earlier years with the text of cult russian rock poet Ilya Kormilzev who died from a desease not very long ago.((((((((

I think I could write about another russian music in one of my next entries)
