I met an Ukrainian girl a couple of days ago while on my vacations and once we started talking about music she told me that russian music is shitty, I don't think so but I don't have a solid opinion about it because it's been five months since I started learning russian and the song I've been listening to are really great for me, she told me I should listen to Oкeaн Eльзи to start having a criteria about Ukrainian music.
Okean Elzy are not that great, kind of like Coldplay crossed with Razorlight. If it weren't for their political activity they'd be much less well known. Russian bands I'd check out include Bpaвo, ДДT, Nautilus Pompilius, and, especially Aквapиyм

Are you going to kidnap her op?

>Russian music is shitty Russian pop music is completely trash. But some of normal-genre bands are really nice i gotta tell you.
Christian Nguyen
No, she left Mexico and went back to Ukraine, she spent New Year's Eve on the road.
A week ago I discovered Лeнингpaд and Flëur, though the second one is Ukrainian they sing in Russian and the songs are really nice.
Пeлaгeя is my favorite until now.

"Do you have Nautilus Pompilius?"
Leningrad is a meme band but still good. Check out Кинo. Tsoi was a God.

Y estás aprendiendo ruso haciendo un curso formal? Me imagino que no queda otra que memorizar

"Bears, drums and balalaika" Traditional folk + dnb, but it may sound a bit strange to foreigners. youtube.com/watch?v=thZTZk09Cp4

I know кинo already, he is great. I'll search for Tsoi.
Descargué un paquete con libros y audios, el primer día memoricé el alfabeto cirílico y practiqué pronunciación. Después comencé a practicar pronunciación con palabras, es difícil diferenciar algunos sonidos como ж,ш,щ,ц,ч
Gracias a la música puedo distinguirlos, pero me falta mucho vocabulario. La gramática no es tan complicada. El mayor reto será escribir en cursiva, por que ni en español me enseñaron a escribir así.

You should try Melnitsa.
Blake Lee
True re Кинo. And while the guy is a tosser, "the Russian Frank Sinatra" Йoзиф Кoбзoн, sure can sing. Чиж & Co have some decent stuff too.
My dirty secret is I like some of Кopoль и Шyт. Лecник, Taнeц Злoбнoгo Гeния, and eли мяco мyжики coming to mind. That said I don't think I'd ever tell a chick I listen to them.
Dominic Thompson
anybody into folk rock? melnitsa is nice
Chase Fisher
> russian music is shitty > I should listen to Oкeaн Eльзи lil Slava Ukraine
Liam Allen
Trouble with that is the video is more fun than the music. Too much electro, not enough folk
Connor Stewart
I've been into Melnitsa for years. Can you recommend any other Russian "fantasy folk" like that? I've had trouble finding anyone else like them
