Grivina 3x
Grivina (also known as Dasha Grivina) comes from Abakan, located in Southeast Siberia. She is still young (born in 2000) but has come a long way. Her music (like her lyrics) isn’t highly sophisticated, but that’s not a requirement in this genre. 222K followers on Instagram; Grivina has come from afar and is going even further.
Я хочу (2018)
Я хочу так хочу = I want it so much; я хочу тебя до утра = I want you until the morning. Я с тобой улечу = I’ll fly away with you; где не был ни ты, ни я = where neither you nor I have been.
Мальчик Party (2018)
A dress gets torn (ты срываешь с меня платье = you tear my dress), but to hell with it (к чёрту его). I need (мне нужен) only you you you (только ты ты ты).
Пальцами по губам (2019)
I close my eyes (я закрываю глаза) and get carried away (и меня тащит) from evening until morning (с вечера и до утра).

Music
Anyone who wants to present Russian music cannot ignore Zemfira. Popular and mainstream – millions of records sold – but also distinctly idiosyncratic. The music is usually accessible (we categorize it under Pop), but the attitude is rock.
Raw Anti-Putin punk from
Nizhny Novgorod /
Нижний Новгород. Loosely based on ‘Maggie’ by The Exploited.
From the green city of
Zelenograd /
Зеленоград. Dreamy indie-folk with a melancholic undertone. Created by
Mikhail Rodionov (1992).
The alarm blares (Ревёт тревога), the road awaits (ждёт дорога). They are many (Их немало), we are few (нас немного). We are in an unjust world (Мы в несправедливом мире) tin wolves in the shooting range (Жестяные волки в тире).
The word offret is Swedish and means ‘sacrifice’; the band Offret is Russian and makes heavy music. The link between the word and the band: a
1986 film in Swedish by the Russian Andrei Tarkovsky.
A band from Saint Petersburg that makes a kind of post-punk/indie-pop. Not for long yet, so not much material yet. However, they already have a few very successful tracks with original music videos. До свиданья, дорогая is the
Russian title for the film
The Goodbye Girl (1977), but it has nothing to do with it.
