Drawing heavy inspiration from 1950s western music, Bravo was a part of the Soviet rock and roll revival of the 1980s, along with Secret. Their first album was made in 1983.
Despite the fact that at that time rock and roll and beat music (except for The Beatles) were less popular among Soviet citizens than classic rock, the band was one of the most popular underground acts in Russia in the 1980s, until the departure of original lead singer Zhanna Aguzarova (ru:Жанна Агузарова)[2] in 1988. Since then Bravo has achieved success with several different singers, Valeriy Syutkin[3] (1990-1994) and Robert Lenz (since 1996).
In 2011, after a ten-year break from studio recordings, Bravo released an album Fashion (Russian: Мода), which received highly positive reviews from critics[4][5] and good attention from younger audiences. The band recorded the album using vintage instruments from the 50s and 60s.[6] The album was produced by Ghian Wright.[7] The album cover includes a photography of Audrey Hepburn from the US-American romantic comedy "Roman Holiday".[8]
