'''Naviband''' (stylised as '''NAVIBAND''', until late 2016 also called '''NAVI''') is an indie pop band from Belarus (Minsk) that has been Warsaw-based since 2020. The band was founded as a duo between singer/songwriter and guitar player Artsiom Lukyanenka and singer/songwriter Kseniya Zhuk (Lukyanenka), later also featured guitar player, producer Aliaksandr Tabolski, bass - Uladzislaŭ Čaščavik, drums - Uladzimir Beher, Yaroslav Tomilo as a sound engineer and manager.
The band rose to fame with a primarily [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]]-language repertoire, but have also performed several songs in Ukrainian. Their first song "Abdymi myane" became a hit in their native Belarus. This was followed by their debut album ''Lovi'', released in 2014. Afterwards, the band made multiple attempts to represent Belarus at the Eurovision Song Contest. Eventually, Naviband represented [[Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017]] with the song "[[Historyja majho žyccia]]" finishing in 17th place, their country's fourth-best result.
NaviBand breaks down boundaries between indie, electronic and world music. Love, both human and divine, is examined in all its complexity and necessity in one of the Artist's most affecting works. Bright voices, pop melodies, folk motifs. From emotional vocal ambients to melodic pop tracks.
NaviBand’s vintage warm atmosphere is good for listeners who are interested in the authentic original vision of indie music from Belarus.
