Satisfied, "Volga" and "Trinity" created magic on Ivan Kupala

On the night of May 8 to 9 at the club in Brest celebrated Ivan Kupala. "Volga", "Rada and Blackthorn," "Trinity" and other stars of ethno-music one of the best concerts of the last season was given. By clips on a large video screen, metaphorically represent Plexus Russian ethnic motifs and traditional bar, open the festival "Ekletnika" project "Volga". Angela Manukyan with its advanced electronicians been a terra ingkognita to folk festivals. You never know what to expect of this energetic woman. We know one thing. Sounds fantastic voice Angela Manukyan. She makes it easy to move from areas expressed to Cantillo old women, as if biting, smacking and singing. Not for a second, it does not lose the thread of his story honestly and a little sad. In addition - a miracle of electronic progress. Crooked Branch, made from grapes. The bitch tight fourth guitar string hear sound sensors bitch out of the game on that string. Tool called zvukosuk, and it plays Yuri Balashov. Alexei Borisov and Roman Lebedev with laptops, all conjure up the traditional techno sound cover space. In itself, this style is out of date, but it is not in an electronic fashion statement. Playing with the voice of Angela exercise techno electronics - listen to this makes to ask every time, and to the music of "Volga". This music a lot of people very strange-looking, strange to a place other than the festival "Ekletnika" strange dance is dance. It turns out that is very well suited by the Russian techno-folk free jazz dance. His dance and some - with a crutch. Even if the "Volga" gathered to their set ended, the hall echoed pleading cries of "More! Another one!" Musicians love to play other. Triumph of the "Volga". The next person, "wind water" until you reach the level of the major festivals. Where a deep music - say, the "wind and water" - naive enthusiasm. Unpretentious melodies, gentle vocal soloists both Dan and Mary. And Dan took Skurida sing vocal manner "Kukryniksov" that it is absolutely inappropriate. Next to me a few people slept open - a bad harbinger. But all that changed the appearance of the "Rada and Blackthorn." Rada turned Anchevskoy group in recent years to perhaps the most powerful member of the Russian ethno-scene, and not just ethnic scene. Minimum musicians create a dense wall of sound, gently lapping against the sonorous vocals Rada. Fine melodies and powerful drive produces a completely different group "Rada and Blackthorn" than what many knew 5-7 years. Almost disappeared problem with diction at the very welcome and the audience clearly hear the lyrics, sung by her. It is very good that disappeared. For if the parliament forgets about diction, lost a large part of the charm of the "gothic" songs. Came teamwork. "I hear more than, and Vovk (guitarist Vladimir Anchevsky) jewelry I hear" - jokes Rada. And again - the long threads vocalize, with relegation to the tone and the abrupt clipping September "Almost new song - Vladimir crept up to the microphone and sang immediately stupid - la-la-la" Biggest hit of the last period "at the crossroads three streets Hollow Hills "," is not that hard, played as the last ", but very flashy!. Bred bass Igor Chernykh's solidity and quiet strength. On the screen - blue drop spreads in hieroglyphics. Glad remarked: "All thoughts, all feelings intersect with popular visualization We are not trying to make up for it!" Just an association of soft, processed guitars Anchevskogo with streams and forests channels. Sometimes his guitar is like a soundtrack to "Dead Man". But - to dance! This identity, Parliament of the audience of girls has caused, and then the number on the dance floor was off-scale all decent limits. Girls meander naturally followed the voice of Parliament and sung word, and completely dissolve in the music. The last time I saw them only on the concert Zemfira. Rada said what happens on the dance floor. And surprise turned to the musicians: "We are a real tavern group!" At that time public reacted ironic applause. Rejoices like a completely different meaning begin to invest in their own songs. No change of expression. But before they stormed the tragic lack of faith in God. And now - rages admiration life. In all shapes and shades. Ivan Kirchuk came without other musicians famous "Trinity". He began with a feature-length documentary about his encounters with ordinary people in Belarus. Apparently he listened attentively unpretentious joys and concerns farmers, sang with them at the table, and usually much it was like a father Lukashenko. But all the strangeness withdrawn kinopropagandy sincere Kirchuk profound statement. Accompanying himself on the set of folk instruments, he sang many popular songs. Surprisingly, there was no way a drop of meanness, a second insincerity. It was felt that Kirchuk sing straight from the harvest, and chose his friends in the audience something very warm and friendly. At the festival on the night of Ivan Kupala traded numerous groups, but we will focus on this. For it is impossible to grasp the infinite. The holiday was a success. In the hall were happy people, and could not tear himself away from the scene. Success means. Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru
