Description
Joanna Stingray's memoir is a wild and vivid account of her time in the Soviet music underground. With infectious enthusiasm, she recounts her experiences as an American who introduced Soviet rock to the free world, forming friendships with rock musicians and bringing them Western instruments and clothes. Her story is borne along by her headlong energy, capturing young icons of Russian rock like Viktor Tsoi, Sergei Kuryokhin, Timur Novikov, and Boris Grebenshchikov. The result is a rare glimpse into the golden era of the Soviet underground, with Stingray's video footage providing valuable evidence of this pivotal moment in music history. A memoir that is as entertaining as it is relevant and illuminating, Joanna Stingray's Red Wave is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the development of late Soviet youth culture.
