Psoy Korolenko
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psoy Galaktionovich Korolenko (Russian: Псой Галактионович Короленко) is a pseudonym of a Russian Jewish song writer and performer by the name of Pavel Eduardovich Lion (Павел Эдуардович Лион). At the same time Pavel Lion is a slavist with a Ph.D. in Russian literature.
His pseudonym comes from Vladimir Korolenko, Russian writer (1853 - 1921), whose works are subject of Pavel's research.
Korolenko's perhaps most known song is Buratino, which is just a repetition of the same phrase many times, aimed to poke fun at modern rap and trance music. The 'song' has been done several times, and a multitude of remixes have been made out of it.
Psoy, has toured many places. He has had concerts in many states, Berlin, London, and more. His music is popular both with adults, and russian teenagers. He rewrites many songs, and also has translated some songs from Russian to Yiddish.
