Boa (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) is a Russian band founded in 1988 by Igor Knyazev and his cousin Sergei Serin. Boa's musical style, a blend of jazz, easy listening, and Latino music, has been influenced by elements of ethno-fusion and worldbeat. The choice of the name Boa—a short name with the same meaning in many languages, quite exotic in Russia—advocates 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) and Igor Shatsky (music, lyrics, arrangement, guitar, piano, percussion). In addition, Boa occasionally hires session musicians to diversify its repertoire.
All of Boa’s recordings are done by Shatsky and Knyazev, who are professional sound producers, at The Black Box Studio in Voronezh, one of the best sound recording studios in Central Russia.
