Belarus
has a rich historical tradition of folk & religious music. The country's
folk music traditions can be traced back to the times of the Grand Duchy of
Lithuania. In the 20th century, the Soviet control of the country somewhat
limited musical development because nationally oriented music was considered
subversive & dangerous to the Soviet authority. The people of Belarus were
exposed mostly to Russian pop music during this period & also after
independence in 1991. In 2002, however, Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree
requiring 50% of all radio broadcast music to be Belarusian in origin. Since
January 1, 2005 the rule was made even stricter, 75% of daily broadcast music
must be Belarusian.
Rock music of Belarus arose in Perestroika times,
with bands forming in late 1980s or early 1990s. Though rock music has risen in
popularity in recent years, the Belarusian government has attempted to limit
the amount of popular music aired on the radio, in favor of traditional
Belarussian music.
Novaje Nieba, or Новае
Неба in Belarusian,
which means New Sky, is a Belarus
rock band started in 1991. That year they released their first album, Black City's
Children. This was followed by Dreaming on the Tram in 1994, Go Home (dedicated
to Belarusian President A. Lukashenka) in 1995, & this offering May from
1996.

Volski – keyboards & vocals; K. Kamockaja – vocals; I. Darafiejeva – vocals;
J. Hlusyckaja – cello; & A. Dziemidovic – tambourine.
