Memory of Alexander Kalugin Nepomnyastchy almost glad and friends

20th September in the Central House of Journalists, a charity acoustic concert in memory of Alexander Nepomnyastchy. It was attended by Sergey Kalugin, Rada Anchevskaya "Belovodie", "Straw raccoons" and some other musician friends. Money collected native Alexander. Nepomnyastchy today focus on one stage with such eminent personalities of Russian rock music as Sasha Bashlachev Yanka Diaghilev, Yegor Letov. He was a true hero of the counter-culture, trying to avoid contact with the press and a general buzz around his name. He was one of the "last of the Mohicans." In 2004, Alex was diagnosed - a malignant brain tumor. Within 3 years, he struggled with a serious illness, but on 20 April he was gone. Newspaper obituary low cost, died "orthodox known poet and rock singer." But it's probably not only in the fact that to study taken in recent years, a great interest Nepomnyashchii orthodoxy and went to a religious institution. As a person who knows about his imminent death, it is particularly acute, and the reality, of course, could not help but think about topics such as the meaning of life and faith in the other world. His most recent poetry imbued with this feeling. "Life is not living without pain", "from the monstrous to the saving love of freedom" - he sang in his songs. Anchevskaya satisfied, spoke last Thursday at a concert in memory of Sasha, said sadly: "Here lives a musician who sings his songs, you think, well, okay not the last time on the stage to hear self And remember only... their own language, and then suddenly - and there is not a man ... "continuation of his thought, the singer added that this" situation "I'd like to meet more often and give concerts," not in memory of someone or in honor someone something, but only to each other. " Generally, the words have been said on this day, not so much. Everyone is trying to sing, and so succinctly. For some reason, almost none of the musicians did not perform the works of Sasha. Only the leader of the group "Belovodie" Max decided Lipatov request listeners, "Avstostop" Forgetful sing. There was a significant recovery in the audience. It was easy to see that practically all know each other. The concert took place in a very familiar way, and warm atmosphere. At some point, the conference hall of the Central House of Journalists in a crouch, a "kvartirnik" that give Sasha Forgetful loved. But the atmosphere of the scene was intense, probably because of the moral responsibility placed on the shoulders of fellow musicians. Sergey Kalugin visibly nervous. Definitely feel some hesitation and pauses in his speech, as he tries to talk about Alexander. But when he was lost for words, the music helped him. Special symbolism full song "sticks" which the audience sang goodbye Kalugin. Sergey Kalugin visibly nervous little done to defuse the situation eccentric Moscow punk band "Straw Raccoons" by Boris mustache. Leader, as he said, "not really existing group", appeared on the scene rushed immediately to inform the public "too much paranoia and raised the noise around this event, so that the very authority the excitement." "Raccoon", sang several numbers with sarcasm and a carefree sadness permeated melodeklamatsionnyh. Among the memorable songs the song "Death to your home" when the code Boris Usov said casually: "Death to your home ... journalists." In the hall of the first laugh. Those who are more academically, in the spirit of the event, decided to leave the hall. I was one of them. Call this event a musical concert is very difficult. But the fact that such concerts will take place - it certainly is. Because somebody come to Kalugin, and someone suddenly Radu for themselves and open up the world of Alexander Nepomnyastchy, and who is just another a talented poet and musician ...
