The russian musical group Boa (Боа) was founded in 1988 by Igor Knyazev and his cousin Sergei Serin.

Presentation

Boa’s musical style, a blend of Jazz, Easy Listening and Latino, has been influenced by elements of Ethno-fusion and World beat.

It explains the choice of the name Boa : a short name, with the same meaning in many languages, quite exotic in Russia and evocating something tropical...

Boa’s performance credo is to combine bright, distinct melodies and unusual harmonies with ironic and smart lyrics.

The current nucleus of the group is Igor Knyazev (main and background vocals, music, and lyrics) and Igor Shatsky (music, lyrics, arrangement, guitar, piano, percussion). In addition, Boa from time to time contracts session musicians to diversify its repertoire.

All Boa recordings are done by Shatsky and Knyazev, who are professional sound producers, at one of the best sound recording studio in Central Russia, The Black Box Studio, Voronezh.
