DiVan, BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FROM RUSSIA




I HAVE FUN SEEKING OUT NEW ACTS ON SELLABAND, AND THIS BAND IS MY LATEST DISCOVERY. COMBINING POP AND ELECTRONICA, WITH THE BEAUTIFUL VOICES OF "VOCELE" AND NATASHA AND MUSICIANSHIP OF DIMITRY, DiVan OPEN A SMALL WINDOW INTO CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN MUSIC. BASED IN THE CITY OF SAMARA, IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA, THE GROUP WAS STARTED BY DIMITRY AND OTHERS IN 1997. IN 2003, THE GROUP TOOK A DRAMATIC CHANGE, WITH DIMITRY BEING JOINED BY VOCELE AND NATASHA, THE CURRENT LINEUP. DIMITRY PLAYS THE INSTRUMENTS AND COMPOSES AND DOES THE PROGRAMMING AND THE GIRLS WRITE THE LYRICS AND PROVIDE VOCALS. CHECK THEM OUT AT SELLABAND, AND LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC AND I'M SURE YOU'LL ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I DO. http://www.sellaband.com/divan/

P.S. Samara is on the great Russian river Volga! :)

Judging by Dimitry's pic, the city is beautiful.
