Umka i Bronevik
The vocalist Umka (her real name is Anna Gerasimova) has acquired the image and status of the queen of Russian hippies (in spite of her dislike of this definition). She has gathered around herself hosts of teenage hippies. Umka is one of the most talented Russian songwriters, although the majority of her songs follow the style of American music of the 1960s and 70s.
