Chaif is a prominent Russian rock band that originated from the city of Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), formed in 1984. The band's name is derived from the word "чай" (tea) combined with "hi-fi". Their music effortlessly blends elements of rock, blues, and Russian folk, creating a signature sound that has resonated with audiences for decades. The band is fronted by Vladimir Shahrin who is known for his distinctive voice and thoughtful, poetic lyrics reflecting Russian life and philosophy.

Throughout their illustrious career, Chaif has released a number of albums that have become landmarks in Russian music history. Their creativity remains unabated, as evidenced by a diversity of recent releases, including the symphonic interpretations in "ЧАЙФ. Симфонические версии", and thematic albums like "Оранжевое настроение-III" and "Жизнь настоящих ковбоев (Трибьют Объект насмешек, Рикошет, Выход дракона), Часть 2". Chaif maintains a strong connection with their fanbase, continuing to explore different musical styles and concepts, which is illustrated by "Теория струн" and the reflective "Слова на бумаге". Their endurance as a creative force in the Russian music scene is testament to their talent and adaptability, making them a revered act with a legacy that continues to grow.
