The first country music festival "Big Country Music Day" was held in Moscow. Emphasized the uniqueness of the event as long agony of the musicians in this genre, and the tests that particular firm. Due to the day of his city had to endure a week later. In 1992 already, but was similar to country music festival. It was called "Farmer" is the name of almost absent when. The class of the Russian population After 13 years of such a symbolic class emerged, but the festival has already ceased to call. Now "Big Country Western Day" will be an annual and prestigious. At a press conference before the festival turned out that not many bands, country music, and country music genre for the media - unformat. As a result of a conversation with journalists turned into a discussion about the future of country music in Russia. To the journalists that the few country bands sing in English unknown Russians Yuri Safronov, the chairman of the organizing committee, compared the country with the Italian opera. No sufficient translator into Russian and from the musicians feel that this genre organic sounds in English. Dmitry Vakhrameev leader "Applejack", referred to the lazy musician seeks Russian texts. George Palmov, leader of the "corn", accused the audience in ignorance. "The end of the 21st century How can you not know that the English language? Big" scene "when asked about the prospects of the output of the country club music news," said the band in that growth and prosperity are, their songs in airplay . Country music has a different beauty in the world, from the usual, and it can be a fan who is not aware, have the genre of country and bluegrass. Very touching started "Big Country Western Day" with an acoustic version of "Juila & Friends". No bass and drums Julia Yostinya sound chamber and sad. But successfully between songs Julia joke, exchanging notes with his son, guitarist Andris: "How are your girls look at me Tell me after the show?" Completed set her song "The Beatles" in the country of incorporation . Lead singer of the "Russian banjo" Yuri Shutov with the realization that they are not perfectly started on country music. Then he sang the first verse of rap. And then went to good jazz. Sometimes with country-specific elements. "The most important instrument of the orchestra - balalaika, ie Russian banjo" - joked musicians. Ural song "Devil in a bath tobacco struck" and added "Shizgaru", and the theme of the k / f "Amphibian Man". Quite club music, and that "Russian banjo" their clockwork comic songs from the most vivid impression on the audience -. The group would not let go, and long demanded encores "Applejack" plays classic country music and bluegrass. And between songs, the musicians explained the meaning of texts. Said of one of the songs Dmitry Vakhromeev: "We're playing to an America that before September 11, and the one after 11." Live at the festival, "Applejack", first played the song "Whiskey train with" Japanese musicians in Nashville American heartland, with whom they met at a festival in Birmingham German, sang his song for the first time in Denmark. And now - the Russian prime minister, movement as evidence of the international orientation of country music. Nizhny Novgorod "Country Saloon" playing country music as much as in 1979. Very cheerful violin Sergey Kaplin, hard acoustic bass banjo and expansive Veselov Mikhail Dushin made a favorable impression. And the first song at the festival in Russian - "Umchi me, forest deer" - this just blew room. Confirms once again that the Russian-speaking - the only future for Russian land, when it is understood by the general public. Fiddler found very pleasant tenor and two-pleased accuracy and phrasing. St. Petersburg "Rifle Shot" playing country music standards in the style of the new country and Newgrass with little sloppy vocals and high-energy fiddle. However, no foreign musicians and creativity "Creedens Clearwater Revival", and even a song from the animated film "Shrek" found its place in the repertoire of the club. Features decorate psychedelic version of recognized international hits performed "Rifle Shot". Cheboksary "Phoenix" - the ironic band festival. Member of the local parliament rather expressive criminal phenomenon veterans gathered Cheboksary stone guard and was dear to his heart sing rock 70s. At the festival, he even brought a TV crew to Cheboksary. Actually sounds in rock and country music standards, "The Beatles" and "Eagles" a little. But the purest example of ancient stone we got. A sincere singing "Songs of Childhood" enthusiastic deputy, right, is compelling. Completed the "Big Country Western Day", the band headlined "Corn". Due to illness could not perform the first singer Larissa Grigorieva because the tour - another soloist Irina Surina. Anyway, in the "corn", sang that evening Svetlana Shebeko and after 9 months of pregnancy. And the song is very good. It should say that the current "Corn" has little in common with traditional country music. Rather, it has integrated a variety of genres - rock-a-roll, blues, funk and even reggae. Dance to this crazy mix - a joy that has been proved by a majority of immediately. Svetlana Shebeko sings softly without dzhazuya and squeezing. So, maybe to sing good pop music. No big deal, it would not be easy in the hands of a master. "The light in your eyes" - VIA is in the late seventies in nightclubs in DC. There are rock-n-roll with the harmonica. It is a quiet blues. It seems that Master Newbie "corn" to have to play a "normal country" long since lost interest. They talk, talk and more. The joy of making music transmitted to the audience immediately. Palmov Palmov satisfied smile. Sung at the end of the famous "corn" hit "a stone." Completed "Big Country Western Day" universal jam session to the ringing of bells "Museon". The festival turned out. We will wait for the next country music festival. Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru
