Life

Ljawon Wolski is the son of writer Artur Wolski. Ljawon studied at the Art Academy in Minsk and completed his military service in the army. Wolski has been a freelance musician since the early 1980s, first in the Soviet Union, then in his native Belarus. He sings mainly in Belarusian. The journalist and Belarus expert Ingo Petz considers him one of the " most influential people of Belarusian culture" in the past 25 years. In the Soviet Union was the Belarusian language and culture as a " culture of farmers " and secondary to the Russian. As the country was governed by a " neosowjetischen elite", these discriminatory laws continues today. Wolski is therefore also an " icon of the alternative culture movement." He sat down for 16 years with " literature, irony, music, and courage " against authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko a ruling.

Wolski has "translated " on an album, among other texts of the Belarusian poet Maksim tank, Uladzimir Karatkewitsch and Ryhor Baradulin in rock songs.
