Cukor Bila Smert (Sugar White Death) [1] was an [[:Category: Ukraine|Ukrainian]] music band from the city of Kiev, active between the late 1980s and the early 1990s.

== Biography ==
The band was led by Svitlana Okhrimenko (later Svitlana Nyanyo). After graduating from music school with a degree in piano, she began composing music. At first she played with cellist Tamila Mazur, later forming the band after being joined by guitarist Eugene Taran and pianist Alexander Kokhanovsky [2]. They differed significantly from the music of that time by featuring high female vocals, gibberish lyrics, and an instrumental-gothic performance style previously unheard in the Ukraine.

In 1988 they recorded the album "Rhododendrons Coral Asps". In 1989, the compilation "New Nezhenki" was created. That same year they recorded the album "Lyley and amaryllysы" [3].

At that time, alternative bands were not able to make professional recordings in the Ukraine and so, like other well-known Ukrainian bands such as [[Frog in an Airship]], [[Kazma Kazma|Kazma-Kazma]], [[The Ukrainians]], [[Viy]], [[Foa-Hoka]], [[Ivanov Down]], they recorded and released on the Polish label Koka Records [4][5]. This label eventually helped keep still music of these groups [6]. This label available two albums the band "stiff Music" (1991) and "The Village" (1993) [3].

According to Igor Tsymbrovsky, who himself recorded on Koka Records, the band has most of its fans in Poland, where there are more listeners of such music than in Ukraine [7]. In particular, representatives of the Polish experimental scene [[Księżyc]] have repeatedly stated that they were inspired by the work of Svetlana Okhrimenko. [8]

After the end of the band, Svitlana Okhrimenko started her solo project [9]. She continued to work with the Polish label Koka Records. Alexander Kokhanovsky began a new project, "Mr. Kifared" with guitarist T. Frost [2]. Tamila Mazur[12] took part in the creation of albums by fellow Ukrainian band [[Sheik Hi-Fi]] [2], as did Eugene Taran [2] before moving to Germany.
