The group "Kukryniks" initially was an amateur team of musicians who periodically performed the compositions of their own essay, occasionally performed in the town of DC and absolutely did not perceive what was happening seriously. Also born and the name of the team was also a joke, not seriously.
The word "Kukryniks" The musicians borrowed from another creative team - the trios of artists-cartoonists Mikhail Kupriyanov, Porphyria Krylov and Nikolai Sokolov, who worked under this funny pseudonym.
The name seemingly temporary remained with a group for two decades. The very temporary seemed to both the Muzication itself, which was perceived by the participants as a hobby. But in 1997, after the next "frivolous" speech, representatives of the "Manchester Files" sound recorder company drew attention to the team.
This day is May 28 - and it is customary to consider the birthday of the group "Kukryniks". And if until this point, the musicians most often performed "on warming up" the team "King and Jester" (the leader of which was Brother Alexei Gorenev - Mikhail), now a completely new page of independent creativity opened in the biography of the Kukryniks group.
