Elena Kamburova

Elena Kamburova (Russian: Елена Антоновна Камбурова; born July 11, 1940) is a Russian singer and actress. In addition to numerous solo albums, her voice is recorded in more than a hundred film soundtracks. She is a People's Artist of Russian Federation.

Born in Novokuznetsk, she was brought up in Ukraine where her family relocated. In 1967, she graduated from the State College of Circus and Variety Art (Государственное училище циркового и эстрадного искусства), and in 1979 from GITIS.

In the 1960s, Kamburova participated in concerts and radio recordings. She performed songs by Novella Matveyeva and Bulat Okudzhava. Okudzhava once noted that her art is "a lucky combination of voice, intellect, and talent.". From mid-1970s, compositions of Vladimir Dashkevich made up a significant part of her repertoire, based on the lyrics by Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Blok and (unfavorable with the Soviet authorities) Marina Tsvetayeva, Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam.

In 1992, Kamburova founded The Moscow Theater of Music and Poetry, where she acts as the director, a performer and an actress.

gollark: I see.
gollark: Why not just copy it over LAN?
