context_page_description: Krambambula is a Belarusian band from Minsk, started by Lavon Volski in 2001. The name of the band is derived from a popular Belarusian alcoholic tincture of the same name. The band performs humorous and satirical songs, often on an alcoholic theme. Krambambula was banned in Belarus from 2011 to 2017.
context_section_description: In the second half of the 90s the artist and poet Mikhail Anempodistov came up with the concept of the album Narodny Albom (English: Folk Album). The Belarusian rock stars of that time were supposed to take part in this project. The album was dedicated to Western Belarus interwar period. Lavon Volski, the leader of the musical band N.R.M., was also invited into this project. He was involved in the arrangements and sang most of the songs there. Lavon sang in an unusual for himself manner, as the album songs were made in a folk style. After the completion of this project Volski still had many ideas for such kind of comic songs, but he couldn’t record them with his N.R.M. band, as they did not fit the serious style of it. Then Lavon Volski had an idea to create a new band, whose music would be solely entertaining and would not concern politics. Very soon Volski was surrounded by like-minded people. Musicians from different Belarusian groups expressed their desire to play in Volski's new project. A new band was named "Krambambula", in honor of the ancient Belarusian liqueur infused on honey and spices, which name in its turn refers to the German liqueur of Krambambuli. The producer and manager of the group was Lavon's wife Anna Volskaya.
