Beautiful video and music by Russian Musician Boris Grebenshikov
Boris Grebenshikov is held in high esteem in his native Russia; he is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of Russian Rock Music. He came to fame through the band Aquarium. Aquarium was formed in the early 1970s but in its early days struggled to make a professional mark due to the official view of Rock Music.
However after performing at the 1980 Tbilisi Rock Festival the band became one of the most popular bands in Russia.
Boris Grebenshikov derives inspiration from a variety of sources. In particular he appreciates the musical inspiration of Bob Dylan and, in the early days, the Beatles. The music of Boris Grebenshikov is wide ranging in its scope and style; encompassing simple ballads, folk music and more traditional rock
He derives inspiration from his study of mysticism and spirituality. He has a keen interest in both eastern and western spiritual traditions. He has translated several spiritual texts from Buddhism and Hinduism into Russian.
