Past_members =Sergei Serin The russian musical group Boa (Боа) was founded in 1988 by
Igor Knyazev and his cousinSergei Serin .Presentation
Boa’s musical style, a blend of
Jazz ,Easy Listening andLatino , has been influenced by elements ofEthno-fusion andWorld 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) andIgor 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 .Discography
