Based in Glasgow since their formation in 2001, KOSHKA (formerly Kesha) came together as a result of Oleg Ponomarev, Nigel Clark and Lev Atlas’ mutual love of music as diverse as classical, folk, and hotclub. Although no strangers to the big stage, having played to thousands during their respective careers, KOSHKA honed their sound playing intimate shows at Russian Café Cossachok and have rapidly become an in demand world music act. Following the critical success of their first album, Kesha, KOSHKA have recorded sessions for BBC Radio and a second collection, Shara, was released in January 2005.
