Gollandia
Gollandia, also spelled Gollandiya, (Russian: Голландия, lit. Holland) is a musical group from Russia, who play "semi-acoustic Petersburg alternative" [...], mostly blues-oriented", as the band members have defined their own musical style. The band was founded in 2003 as an acoustic duo of singer-songwriter and guitarist Greta (Russian: Грета) and flautist Little. Afterwards the band for some time featured a semi-electric lineup, including bassist Volodya (Russian: Володя), but without the fleute; nowadays it has been rebooted as an acoustic act featuring permanent frontwoman Greta, solo-guitarist Olga from Ekaterinburg and flautist Sveta from Moscow. The band has participated in a variety of Russian musical festivals — mostly underground (such as Topos, Echo and Spring dripper). It has been extensively touring and performing domestically.
