History
Chaif is a Russian rock band formed in 1985 in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), though its roots trace back to informal rehearsals in 1983. Founders Vladimir Shakhrin and Vladimir Begunov, both veterans of a school band called Pyatna, teamed up with Oleg Reshetnikov and Vadim Kukushkin; the current lineup also includes longtime members Valery Severin and Vyacheslav Dvinin. The band plays a folk-rock-leaning strain of Russian rock, part of the wider Sverdlovsk rock scene that also produced Nautilus Pompilius. Its name is a portmanteau invented by Kukushkin, blending "чай" (tea) and "кайф" (bliss) — a nod to the strong black tea the group drank during rehearsals. After the 1994 album "Oranzhevoye Nastroyeniye" ("Orange Mood"), orange became the band's signature color, and fans began showing up to concerts in orange construction helmets. Chaif's best-known hit, the football-themed "Argentina — Jamaica 5:0," won the Golden Gramophone award for best rock song in 1999. The band remains active today, one of the longest-running acts to emerge from the late-Soviet Russian rock underground.
