Kolibri is a Soviet/Russian experimental pop/rock group formed in 1988 in Saint-Petersburg playing a highly eclectic brand of baroque pop blended with elements of post-punk, cabaret, chanson and dominated by vocal harmony. Blatantly elitist and quite challenging in their refined intellectualism, Kolibri combined high posturing with touchingly humane attitude, writing and performing songs that were described variously as - exquisite, depressive, extravagant, romantic, naive, sophisticated and decadent. The band released six studio albums which were received well in Europe and were praized by critics in their native Russia but never had any commercial success.

Kolibri were formed in 1988, first as a kind of exotic side project for Natalya Pivova′rova (born 17 July 1963, Novgorod), then Sergey Kuryokhin’s Populiarnaya Mekhanika member.

Having brought together six other girls who were connected to the Leningrad Rock Club in one way or another but had no stage experience whatsoever, Pivovarova suggested they’d form a kind of musical theater and perform cover versions in a cabaret/avan-guarde/post-rock fashion. On 8 March 1988 the septet staged their ‘Vacation of Love’ programme (it’s title referring to the Japanese film) in Leningrad Rock Club.

According to critic and rock historian Andrey Burlaka the concert caused furore and the girls became their native city cultural scene’s overnight sensation. By the time of their next gig, though, Kolibri were five: alongside Pivovarova sang and danced - Yelena Yudanova, Irina Sharovatova, Olga Feshcenko, and Inna Volkova.

    Чёрт, люди нелюбопытны. "Железные звёзды" - шикарный альбом - а народ всё равно слушает раннее.
