Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Viktor Robertovich Tsoi (1962 to 1990) was a Soviet singer and actor of Korean, Kazakh, and Russian ancestry. He grew up in Leningrad, and became interested in music in his teens. He wanted to sing rock songs about life on the streets of Leningrad, but was frustrated that the Soviet government favored the happy pop singers of Moscow. He then led the band Kino and became a leading member of the underground rock scene of Leningrad, where he made his stage debut singing "Elektrichka," a song about a man who does not want to go where his train is taking him. This metaphor for the frustration Soviet youth had with their lives propelled Tsoi, and Kino, to fame. His music was immediately banned from live performances, but he and his fans didn't mind, and he gave secret concerts. |
