Ngokuphelele futhi ngokuphelele umlando walo ixhunywe umsebenzi, ukuphila omunye vocalists best of izwe lamaSoviet naseRussia - Nikolai Arutyunov.
Amanxusa e-Blues ezweni elingewona ama-blues
Akukhona ukuthi abantu bakithi abawathandi ama-blues. Kodwa ngisho nasohlwini lwezinhlobo ezidumile, ayithathi neze isikhundla esiphakeme. Ngakho-ke, abaculi basekhaya abanquma ukuya esiteji futhi barekhode izinto ngale ndlela noma ezihlobene nayo bazolahlekelwa ukungaqondi kahle komphakathi kanye nobunzima emisebenzini yabo.
Noma kunjalo, kukhona abashisekayo abazama ukudlulisela ukuqonda kwabo kwe-blues aesthetics kumlaleli. I-Arutyunov ingabizwa ngokuthi omunye wabo ngokuzethemba okugcwele.
U-Nikolai wamangala ngokudalwa kweqembu le-blues e-USSR emuva maphakathi nawo-XNUMX, kodwa akuyona yonke into elula kangaka. Kuphela ekupheleni kweminyaka eyishumi lapho iphupho lakhe lafezeka.
Kungani ingasebenzi ngaso leso sikhathi? Njengoba u-Nikolai ngokwakhe ehlonza inkinga: cishe bonke abaculi bakhe abajwayelekile babephupha ngokuba yi-Beatles, futhi yena ngokwakhe wayephupha ngokuba yi-Rolling Stone. Isipiliyoni sokuqala sika-Kolya sesigqi kanye ne-blues siphele ngokushesha. Umzamo wesibili wenziwe ngo-79, futhi waphumelela.
Ngaphezu "kwe-generator yemibono" i-Arutyunov, i-line-up yokuqala yayihlanganisa amaqabane anjengomshayi wesiginci u-Sergei Voronov (umdali wekusasa le-CrossroadZ), i-bassist Andrei Sverchevsky kanye nesigubhu u-Andrei Yarin.
