Zvuki Mu (Russian: Зву́ки Му [ˈzvukʲɪ ˈmu], roughly translated as "Sounds of Moo", sounding to the Russian ear as a humorous abbreviation of Zvuki Muzyki, the Russian translation for The Sound of Music) was a Russian alternative rock/indie/post-punk band founded in Moscow in 1983. Lead singer and songwriter Pyotr Mamonov was one of the most revered and eccentric figures of the Russian art scene, whose absurdist lyrics are as playful and disturbing as his vocal style and explosive on-stage presence.[3]

The 2013 video for The National's single "Sea of Love", directed by Sophia Peer, was based on Zvuki Mu's video for Grubyj Zakat.[4][5][unreliable source?] In 2015, Mamonov reunited the band with new members, called "Brand new Zvuki Mu".[6][unreliable source?]
