Though not a native of Evenkia, Nikolai Bilanin has also had a profound effect on Evenk music. He founded the children's folk band Osikta and an influential brass band. Nikolaevich has also arranged local folklore and worked with Chapogir, Evgeniya Kureiskaya, a popular Evenk singer, and Anatoli Kustov, a composer.
