5'nizza (IPA: [pʝt nɪtsa], meaning “Friday” in Ukrainian and Russian) was an acoustic group formed in 2000 in Kharkov, Ukraine that disbanded in 2007. It was made up of two friends: Sergey Babkin (Сергей Бабкин) (guitar), and Andrey “Sun” Zaporozhets (Андрей Запорожец) (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. 5'nizza's demo album, Unplugged, was bootlegged and spread all over the C.I.S. countries in 2002. The demo was well received by fans as well as online critics. Some even say that, in 2002, Unplugged was the top seller in Russia. Their official debut album, Pyatnitsa, was produced in 2003 and consisted mostly of songs from Unplugged. A second album, o5, was released in 2005. Both Babkin and Zaporozhets have released other musical projects in addition to their work together. Babkin (a solo artist since 2004) has recorded three solo albums: Ura, SN. G, Bis! and Motor; and Zaporozhets appeared as a backing vocalist in Lюk (Luk), a lounge group. Babkin is also an actor in the Kharkov theater group Theater 19. Andrey Zaporozhets is currently completing his university degree in pediatrics. Second album O'5 (meaning Again in Russian) was released in 2005. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/5nizza">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
