Meet Alyona Alyona, Ukraine's most unlikely rap star.
Even if you don’t know a word of Ukrainian, you’ll be hooked on rapper Alyona Savranenko. She spits like a car revving up and rocketing off full speed until suddenly, you’re carried away. The 27-year-old, who goes by the stage name Alyona Alyona, first caught my ear with her hit “Fish” , which was featured in two music videos. The first showed Savranenko, who is plus-size, in a bathing suit cruising around a lake on a jet ski.
Savranenko moved to a village south of Kiev at the age of 14; this past year, she relocated to central Kiev. Entering the country’s nascent rap scene involved “finding herself” and paving the way for a new era. “Earlier when I started rapping, no one liked it. Everyone was like, ‘Yuck! Women must make borscht,’ ” she tells me. “No one listened, no one accepted it, and because of that I didn’t tell anyone. I just wrote for myself. There are those who knit socks, make food, and I rap.
