Modern-day bards?

Thu Oct 10 16:59:14 UTC 2013

I know it's maybe a bit old, but have you tried Viktor Tsoi and Kino?  I discovered recently that he's still an icon amongst young Russians even today when I was treated to a verse of 'Pachka Sigaret' by a group of 18 - 22 year old - a sort of Kurt Cobain figure.

> 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?
