Evenkia is a part of Russia, located in Asia. Its most renowned composer is likely Oleg Vasilevich Chapogir, from Kislokan in the Ilimpisky region. He devoted himself to the local music and poetry (such as by Nikolai Osegira and Aliteta Nemtushkina), though he was educated at Norlisk Musical College and was part of that school's first class, which graduated in 1974.

Though not a native of Evenkia, Nikolai Nikolaevich has also had a profound effect on Evenk music. He funded the childrens' national 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.
