Elena Borisovna Frolova (Russian: Елена Борисовна Фролова; born 1 October 1969, in Riga) is a Russian singer-songwriter, composer, and poet. She is author and performer of songs based on poems by many Russian poets of twentieth century,[1] including Marina Tsvetaeva,[2] Sophia Parnok,[3] Joseph Brodsky,[4] Anna Barkova, Andrei Belyi, Varlam Shalamov, Maria Petrovykh,[5] Veniamin Blazhenny,[6] Bulat Okudzhava,[7] and many others,[8][9][10][11][12] as well as her own poetry.[13] Frolova is one of few performers who uses Russian folk instrument gusli and ancient harp,[14] along with classical six-string guitar for the accompaniment. During 25 years of work she created more than 630 songs[15] and published more than 40 music albums.[16][17][18]
