Rosenbaum graduated from the Pavlov Medical School in 1974, and worked in the medical field for four years. His musical education consists of piano and choreography courses at a musical school. In 1968, while still a student, Rosenbaum started writing the songs for which he is famous. His early songs were for student plays, but he soon also wrote for rock groups and started performing as a singer-songwriter in 1983, sometimes under the pseudonym “Ayarov”. Among his most famous songs are the ones about the Soviet-Afghan War, Cossacks, and the Jewish Mafia in Odessa. Songs such as “Гоп-стоп” (a comedy about two gangsters executing an unfaithful lover) and “Вальс-Бостон” (The Boston Waltz) are popular across Russian social groups and generations. Rosenbaum accompanies himself on either a six- or twelve-string acoustic guitar, using the Open G tuning adopted from the Russian seven string guitar. Rozenbaum.ru |
