Russia's top girl rockers - full list, photos and names, influences
Содержание
Russian rock - This is, for the most part, beautiful, unusually soulful music (think of the same "Autumn" by DDT). Typically, legends of Russian rock began to refer exclusively to men, namely such bright and influential stars as Viktor Tsoi, Yuri Shevchuk, Boris Grebenshchikov and so on... However, this is not quite fair. The history of Russian rock remembers the names of women, who, by the way, had a great influence on the further development of the genre and on modern music in general! And yes: you may be surprised and even outraged by this, but it is precisely Alla Borisovna Pugacheva played an important role in the formation of Russian rock... A Olga Kormukhinain turn, started with jazz. Actually - about everything in order. So: this is the top of the most important girls in the history of Russian rock! We begin...
Zemfira
Without this widely known representative of the Russian rock scene it is impossible to have more than one such list... Zemfira She has long been the epitome of "female rock" as well as the idol of millions... She made a loud statement at the end of the 90-х with his band "Zemphira."and has managed to maintain its popularity to this day.
Zemfira really deserves a place in our list, as she had a great influence on both the Russian rock scene and modern music in general (needless to say, she inspired hundreds of her followers...?) It's worth noting that the singer always stuck to her principles and had her own opinion, which made it difficult for producers to work with her. But from the looks of it - her view was always right!
Tatiana Litvinenko
Kvartal Group combined in her work the elements jazz, soul, funk and ethnic music.The band became popular because of which, as a matter of fact, it became popular. And the unchanged member of this Moscow rock collective was and remains to this day Tatiana Litvinenko - vocalist and songwriter.
Due to its unique style and manner of execution Tatiana Litvinenko deserves a place on our list. This woman has had a great influence on many of today's female performers, and that's an ironclad fact.
Diana Arbenina
Along with Zemfira, this rock star became the idol of millions, and her old hits continue to be actively played on the radio to this day... Night Snipers legend., today. Diana Arbenina is one of the most famous women on the Russian rock scene! She is still actively touring and releasing new tracks....
Arbenina's rich discography includes several dozen albums, which once again proves her dedication...
Chicherina
The singer of the smash hit "Tu-lu-la," Yulia Chicherina. is known as a Russian rock singer, songwriter, and leader of her own band. Chicherina has indeed had a great influence on modern Russian rock, breaking the boundary between pop and rock music...
Zhanna Aguzarova
Legend of the Soviet and Russian rock scene, and in particular the epathetic vocalist of the band "Bravo," Zhanna Aguzarova. was a kind of Russian "Bowie.": colourful, charismatic, with excellent vocal data... She had a great influence on many of her contemporaries and followers!
Afterwards. "Bravo" Zhanna Khasanovna. has built a successful solo career. Very often in her interviews the artist declared (and continues to declare to this day) about her extraterrestrial origin and "inner ties" with Martians... Aguzarova received a title for her colourful images and unique style of dressing "The Goddess of Epatage.".
Olga Kormukhina
Olga Kormukhina is one of the most talented and favourite singers on the Russian rock scene! Remarkably, however, Kormukhina did not start her journey with rock at all, but with jazz... In 1983 The future star travelled to the capital, where she enrolled in the Gnessin State Pedagogical Institute, and already in the 1987 became part of the "Red Panther.". In fact, it's thanks to this group Olga Borisovna and rose to fame as a rock singer...
Today. Olga Kormukhina is an Honoured Artist of Russia!
Olga Pershina
Olga Pershina - Soviet and Russian folk-rock singer, poet and writer. Pershina has been active in rock since the beginning of the 70-хand yes, she was involved in the recording of the album. "Triangle" by Aquarium. (in particular - Pershina wrote the music for the song "Two tractor drivers.")!
Remarkably, it was Pershina who endorsed in the 1976 the idea of organising concerts in honour of each participant's birthday. The Beatles!
Natalia Borjomova
Perhaps today only a few people will remember this beautiful and mysterious (as there is practically no information about her on the Internet) girl... However -. Natalia Borjomova was the lead singer of a band "Night Prospect."one of the first industrial projects in Soviet Union! And not just a vocalist (of which there are many), but a talented rock performer....
Nastya Poleva
Soviet and Russian rock singer, songwriter, and leader of the rock band "Nastya" - Poleva quickly won over the audience with her distinctive and surprisingly strong vocals... It is worth adding that the voice of Nastya Polevoy was the first female voice on the rock scene of the era. 80-х!
Yanka Diaghileva
My way Yana Diaghileva She started mainly with flat concerts, where she performed songs of her own composition under the guitar... Soviet rock singer, singer-songwriter, member of punk-rock bands "Civil Defence, The Great Octobers. and others - she was one of the brightest representatives of the Siberian underground of the late 1980-х. Unfortunately, in May. 1991 of the year she was gone...
Now, let's get to the question of how does Alla Pugacheva affected Russian rock…
As it happens. Alla Borisovna has long reigned unchallenged on the Russian music scene. It is not for nothing that she bears the title "Prima Donnas."! Of course, none of the listeners do not perceive and never perceived it in the context of Russian rock. And for nothing...
It was Pugacheva who was one of the few people who seriously paid attention to Russian rock when it first came into fashion (which was in the 80s). She organised a charity concert "Bill 904."at which the speakers were "Bravo, Cruise, Autograph and Recital.. She also helped the group "Nautilus Pompilius." in the recording of the album "Prince of Silence." (Alla Borisovna also performed backing vocals in the song "Doctor of your body.").
And it was she who helped the Leningrad rock club, which, in those years, was really hard to exist (rock at that time was a kind of mainstream, inspired by the West...) Needless to say that "Primadonna" took a direct part in the fate of the above-mentioned club. Zhanna Aguzarova? So - Pugacheva is really very closely connected with our rock, and not to mention her in the list of the most important girls in the history of Russian rock would be a gross mistake.
