Iva Sativa

Iva Sativa – a Belarusian rapper and songwriter – uncompromisingly brings the full feminine power of her native pagan roots into a mix of drum and bass, hip-hop, and ethno-music based on local folk motifs. This creative cocktail becomes even more eclectic thanks to the linguistic diversity on which Iva writes her songs – Belarusian, Russian, and English. Coming from a bilingual country with conservative politics, she stands out as a cunning daredevil, instantly switching from a traditional costume to a sporty look characteristic of the outskirts, or – suddenly – showcasing an authentic outfit by a local designer.
