"VIA" (Vokalno-Instrumentalny Ansambl) is a vibrant and nostalgic music genre that emerged in the Soviet Union during the late 1960s to the 1980s, characterized by its fusion of Western rock and pop influences with traditional Russian and other Eastern European musical elements. This genre was known for its harmonious vocal arrangements, catchy melodies, and diverse instrumentation, including electric guitars, synthesizers, and traditional instruments. VIA performances often emphasized theatrical flair and emotional expression. Despite political restrictions, VIA groups became cultural icons, resonating deeply with audiences through their authentic storytelling and charismatic stage presence.
