Kavabanga Depo Kolibri is a Ukrainian rap group formed in Kharkiv (Ukraine). The guys regularly release new tracks and videos. They spend the lion's share of time on trips.
The group consists of three members: Sasha Plyusakin, Roma Manko, Dima Lelyuk. The guys got along perfectly, and today the team is completely unimaginable in a different composition. True, in 2019 there were several changes to the composition.
The members of the group have repeatedly said that their team is not only themselves, but also Artiomas Tkachenko. He occasionally appears on some of the band's tracks. Concert director Max Nifontov deserves special attention.The rap group was formed in 2010. It was during this period that Hummingbird (Lelyuk) decided to follow in the footsteps of his older friend and take up rap. By the way, Kharkiv is one of the few Ukrainian cities where worthy rap groups form with enviable regularity.
Dima wrote the text, found a suitable instrument and recorded what he came up with. Since Lelyukas did not have a licensed sound editor, and there was no desire to use unlicensed ones, the young man began to "forge" information about the availability of suitable software in his circle of friends. Soon he went to Sasha Plisakin, who is known to the public as Kavabanga.
Plisakin liked what he heard. He started cooperation with Lelyuk. Later, Sasha informed his friend Roman Manko (Depo) about his plans. Finally, it turned out that Rome also wanted to dilute the duo. Thus, the team expanded to a trio, and in Plisakina's "hut" the novice rappers began to "mix" their first tracks.
