In 1973, a new star appeared on the musical horizon of Poltava region – the vocal-instrumental ensemble “Rovesnyk”, created by musician Viktor Korobov. The first members of the group were schoolchildren and students of technical schools, so the name of the collective justified itself. The repertoire of the ensemble mainly included covers of songs by foreign and Soviet performers.
Gradually, the skill of the musicians grew, original compositions and arrangements of famous songs appeared. 1976 – “Rovesnyk” – laureate of the First All-Union Festival of Folk Art. 1978 – Viktor Korobov writes the rock opera “Variant from Chess”, which was performed with great success on the stage of the State Drama Theater. In 1979. the composition of the ensemble is strengthened by a brass band, which allowed the leader to instrumentalize many works in the style of the group “Chicago” (USA), but at the same time leaving the originality and character of the songs. 1980. – 1st place at the Regional Review-Competition of VIA.
