Initially an acoustic duo, under Arbenina’s leadership the group has evolved into a full-fledged rock ensemble, gaining wide recognition in Russia and beyond. Characterized by poetic depth and emotional intensity, Arbenina’s songs often draw inspiration from literary works, including the works of Joseph Brodsky, Anna Akhmatova, and Federico García Lorca. Her ability to blend rock with literary elements has set her apart in the Russian music scene.
Aside from her musical endeavors, Arbenina is also a published poet and has received awards such as the Triumph Literary Prize.
