Laskovyi Mai


Laskovyi Mai was a Soviet boy band from Moscow founded by Russian songwriter, composer and musician Sergei Kuznetsov. The group's best-known member was Yuri Shatunov, who has subsequently gone on to some solo success. The group disbanded in 1992. Laskovyi Mai once had been called "the legends of the 80–90s".
The band has made a comeback since 2009 as a new Russian band under some changed membership of Andrei Razin, Sergey Serkov, Andrei Kucherov and Sergei Lenyuk.

Career

Laskovyi Mai was formed in the middle of the 1980s, when Sergei Kuznetsov decided to create a group of musicians with orphan children from an orphanage in Orenburg. The group's first album became legendary in the history of the Soviet pop. The style of group is a mix of Western disco pop music made on the synthesizer with plain lyrics and sung with a jazzy voice. The group Vesyolye Rebyata was a big rival, with their hit "Rozovye Rozy" being nearly as popular as Laskovyi May's but "Belye Rozy".
