Bravo (Russian: Браво) is a rock and roll band founded in 1983 in Moscow, Russia,[1] by guitarist Evgeny Khavtan.
Drawing heavy inspiration from 1950s western music, Bravo was a part of the Soviet rock and roll revival of the 1980s, along with Secret.
Despite the fact that at that time rock and roll and beat music (except for The Beatles) were less popular among Soviet citizens than classic rock, the band was one of the most popular underground acts in Russia in the 1980s, until the departure of original lead singer Zhanna Aguzarova[2] in 1988.
In 2011, after a ten-year break from studio recordings, Bravo released an album, Fashion (Russian: Мода), which received highly positive reviews from critics[4][5] and good attention from younger audiences.
