Sinyaya Ptitsa (Russian: Синяя птица, The Blue Bird) was a Soviet music group, vocal and instrumental ensemble, which existed from 1972 to 1991. Later, several Russian musical groups created by former members of the original band took the name Sinyaya Ptitsa.
History[edit]
The band formed in 1972 in the city of Gomel (Belarus) as vocal-instrumental ensemble We, You and Guitar. In 1986 the group took part in the festival Rock for Peace in the Czech town of Sokolovo, and then sent to entertain Soviet troops in Germany.
According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Drozdov was one of the recognizable voices in the Soviet Union.[1]
