Olga Arefieva (Arefeva) (born 21 September 1967 in Verkhnyaya Salda) is Russian singer-songwriter, poet and musician.[1] She has graduated from Gnessin State Musical College (her teacher was Lev Leshchenko), founded band "Kovcheg" (The Ark), composed more than 400 songs, issued 15 music albums, and won the literary prize of magazine "Znamya" for her poems. Her poetry was described by literary critics as a combination of realism and mysticism, possibly inspired by absurdism of Daniil Kharms or magic realism of Gabriel Márquez.[2] She is a member of Union of Russian Writers. Since 2004, she began to supplement her concerts with theater performance group "Kalimba". In 2008 she published a science fiction book "Death and Adventures of Efrosinya The Beauty" that won a literary award.
