Filk Song: Difference between revisions

The military tradition of [[Bawdy Song]] versions of common tunes, informal "bard song" concert tradition and fantasy eventually began to merge in various proportions.

* "Niennah" (Natalia Vassilieva). Renowned in the post-Soviet Tolkien fandom as a minstrel, though most well known as the author of the ''Black Book Of Arda'', a big ''[[Silmarillion]]'' fanfic [[Perspective Flip|from Melkor's POV]] that was formally published as a book (yes, Russian copyright law is quite lax). At very least, have pulled a lot of people into discussion.

* Yevgeny Lukin. Though he has songs like e.g. a parody of [[White Sun of the Desert|Easterns]], most are around history/politics/philosophy (don't those end up tangled anyway?) both to famous tunes in parody/reference and his own. Well known in fan circles, but much more known as a SF&F author (over two dozens of various awards), and much less as a translator (at least two of [[Barbara Hambly]]'s books published on Russian).
