That's Бумбокс as in Boombox.

Бумбокс: a 'funky groove' trio from the Ukraine. Funky and mellifluous. Slick video production and 0.5 megapixel performances.
Too many links? Try one of the following for a potential jumping-off point...
(1) Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", with the unmistakable bass line from Louis Johnson, is a classic. Swapping out that chugging bass line for a... jazz piano? How could you try to replace Michael's dynamic vocals? It couldn't possibly make sense, could it?
(2) Want some melodrama, laid on real real thick? This cute animation by Louis Clichy (I swear I've seen it posted on the blue before) was overdubbed by an enterprising Youtuber with some Бумбокс. Warning: may get dusty.
Бумбокс is:
Андрей Хлывнюк (Andrei Khlivnyuk), vocals
Андрей ″Муха″ Самойло (Andrei 'Fly' Samolo), guitar
Валентин ″Валик″ Матиюк (Valentin "Valik" Matiyuk), DJ (or, 'scratch-master', as he is advertised on the website)
If you can navigate Cyrillic you can stream most all their songs on that website.

Yesterday, a post on a closed city in Siberia had me reminiscing a silly tale of my time in a similar closed city there, trading my music with a local DJ who ended up making James Brown a pretty integral part of local summer camp.
Like most cultural diffusions, though, the trading ran both ways; he sent me home with CDs full of music from Russia or other ex-Soviet lands (plus lots of older Soviet music). Yesterday, in my nostalgia I got to digging through that music, and I figured a MeFi post of tunes from my cache is a good way to keep paying it all forward.
