Very good art/ contemporary folk album, with acoustic guitars, double bass, cello, flute, percussion and beautiful female vocals. Not all her albums are in this style, but this one is highly recommended.

"Rada, Olga Arefieva and Inna Gelannaya all started their musical career in late 80th early 90th and released several albums." Arefieva released some albums in reggae style. Her most folk album is "Kolocolchiki" (and the best released album imho). Unfortunatly her best album "aku-aku" was not released on CD and the master tapes were stolen. " Alexandr

Ark     Olga Arefieva : Devocka Scherzo / Scherzo Girl (RU,1997)**

Acoustic folkrock/singer's album. OK but not special if you don't understand Russian. The double live album is closer to Kolokolchiki, but is less dynamic.
