КРАМА is a seminal Belarusian rock band, revered for its infusion of local flavor into the rock genre. Formed in the early 1990s by frontman Igor Varashkevich, КРАМА has been a significant part of the Belarusian music scene, championing the use of the Belarusian language in rock music and often drawing upon the nation’s history, folklore, and contemporary issues for inspiration.
Their music is characterized by a blend of classic rock elements with Belarusian folk motifs, resulting in a sound that is both unique and accessible to a broad audience. Over the years, КРАМА’s consistent output of singles like "Зацьменны блюз," "Дапіў віно," and "Белая вада" have solidified their status as stalwarts of the Belarusian rock movement. "Усё жыццё — дзіўны сон" and "Будзьма разам з намі" showcase their poetic storytelling and the ability to evoke thought and emotion through music. The satirical "Хавайся y бульбу" reflects their keen sense of humor, while works like "Што дапаможа нам" grapple with existential queries. Even as they tour and release new material like "Наваполацкі канцэрт" and "Гарэлка на лёдзе," КРАМА remains a touchstone of Belarusian cultural identity, celebrated for their contributions to music and their unapologetic celebration of their heritage.
