Modern-day bards?

[Goldberg, Stuart H]

Martin Daughtry, an ethnomusicologist at NYU, wrote his dissertation on the new generation of Russian bards pushing the generic envelope of avtorskaia pesnia (early 2000s).  Some of the heroes of his work were:

Ol'ga Aref'eva
Grisha Danskoy
Katia Boldyreva
Ol'ga Chikina
Viktor Luferov
Yuliya Teunikova
Sasha O'Shennon

Another phenomenon close to avtorskaya pesnia (but with different instrumentation) are the pretty diverse projects of Psoi Korolenko.

Best,
Stuart

Dear Emily,

There is a club in Moscow called Gnezdo glukharia dedicated to avtorskaia pesnia. Their site http://www.gnezdogluharya.ru/ streams concerts regularly. They stage concerts by younger artists as well as by representatives of the older generation such as Veronika Dolina and Alexander Dolskii. 

I would still introduce him to recordings of Vysotsky, Okudzhava, and Bashlachev. They are timeless.

Anthony

Hello,

I have a teenaged student who has a strong interest in acoustic guitar.  He's struggling a bit with his study of Russian, and I'd like to jump-start him a bit by pointing to some artists that he could listen to in Russian.  But the only bard-poets/acoustic guitar musicians I'm aware of are from the 90's and earlier (Mityaev, Vystotsky, Okudzhava, Bashlachyov). Anyone know of any artists that'd be closer to him in age that play acoustic guitar?  And that samples of their songs can be found somewhere out there on the internet?

Thanks in advance!

Emily Saunders
