    Zemfira is an indie-rock musician notable for her departure from the traditional role of women in Russian music. Though she has been endlessly compared to female rockers, Zhanna Aguzarova, Yanka Dyagileva and Nastia Poleva, she barely resembles any of her Russian predecessors, aligning more closely with foreign artists like Kate Bush or Bjork. Zemfira's lyrics engage deeply with tabooed but ubiquitous social issues such as alienation, depression, (homo)sexuality and AIDS and challenge aesthetically-obsessed studio rock of the 1990's with low-fi guitar melodies and a cracking voice. Zemfira's music marks a not only a return to the early history of Russia rock when music was based in dissent, but a new trajectory all her own.

        This was the first night for new drummer Craig Manrique. Craig beat out a night of dynamic thumping energy to a very delighted crowd.

        I listened "Corazon al sur" disc and I think it is wonderful. They made a very interesting version of "El corazon al sur" and with a very cute musicalization and a very warm voice by Claudio Ortega.
