Melnitsa Group

Melnitsa Group — this is a true phenomenon in the world of Russian folk rock. Over the twenty years of their existence, they were able to turn the idea of folk around and make it a popular genre that everyone wants to enjoy.

Founded in Moscow in 1999, Melnitsa managed to create seven full-length albums, each of which is a unique piece of music and different from the others. Their work can be described as folk rock, but this is just too narrow a definition to characterize their music. Here you will hear chamber harp pieces, stunning rock compositions, light jazz motifs, and even notes from pop music. Melnitsa is not limited by genre boundaries and enjoys experimenting with sound, which creates a unique “Melnitsa-style”.

The leader of the group, Natalya O’Shey, also known as Helavisa, is a professional Indo-European linguist. Her texts are distinguished by the use of allusions to Indo-European mythology and folklore, as well as the traditions of Russian poetry of the 20th century. Together with Natalya, a team of text co-authors, including Olga Lishina, Ivan Malyutin and Kirill Barinov, creates its “creative cuisine”, and Sergei Vishnyakov is always the musical co-author.

Over all these years, Melnitsa has managed to win the hearts of millions of listeners; their songs have long become true classics of Russian music. But the main achievement of the group is their amazing live energy and the uniqueness of their performances. Their concerts leave an indescribable impression and undoubtedly become vivid memories in the life of everyone who attended them.
