5’nizza (meaning “Friday”) is an acoustic group formed in 2000 in Kharkiv, Ukraine that disbanded in 2007 and reunited in 2015. It was made up of two friends: Sergey Babkin (guitar), and Andrey “Sun” Zaporozhets (vocals).
The band’s music has a combination of influences: reggae, Latin, rock and hip hop, which is performed in a minimalistic folk style limited to vocals, beatboxing, and acoustic guitar. Despite lack of support from large labels, the group attracted cult following in much of Central and Eastern Europe,[1] notably Ukraine, Russia, Poland and Germany.
