Last weekend Ukrainian band "Okean Elzy" in Kiev Palace "Ukraine" has a two-month tour of the country in support of the album completed "In nochi". Melodic, with some claim to elegance plate, where in addition to the musicians, "Ocean ..." Timer and master playing ethnic instruments, and members of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, is a solo project of "OE" Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. The Group intends to actively present them outside the home. The end of May a Moscow concert tour. - The annotation of the album says that the project can be seen as the fruit of the efforts of some of the Creation Lab. In the future you want to develop this idea and bring your songs to work musicians from different directions, or even members of the other arts? - Maybe. Anyway, when I create the "Okean Elzy", the idea of a parallel group design, you go where you want to realize the most fantastic ideas, like music, maybe okolomuzykalnye - says the musician, "News". - The fact that the album took place "in nochi", this is the result of a general desire to go beyond the music of their genre. Band "Okean Elzy" - In concert tour in support of the album, you almost certainly act mainly to the composition will the "Ocean ...". It is unlikely that you will go the way musicians of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, and others are invited to the studio recording artist. - Yes, the musicians VAT Ukraine with us not go on tour, but in every city, we are the local orchestra. And the Moscow Arts Theater on Tverskoy Boulevard on 27 May, we will show, the program is also unlikely that Ukrainian symphony musicians. In Moscow, quite fine orchestra that can come with us. - I do not build their authority at home, a version of the super group, who were born in the 70s and 80s in the West? Now, as Asia, Foreigner or The Traveling Wilburys? - Typically, such projects are not very convincing. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But I do not aim to make a supergroup. Sometimes there is only the desire to. The format of the music in which we usually The project "The nochi" We can play jazz, bossa nova, and folk. - Possible Alliance Vakarchuk and violin Oleg? - Of course. I think we can do something interesting, especially since I'm not as good as violin, versed in the folk music and singing in the French aesthetic. I think we could have much to offer each other. - A "Okean Elzy" and "The Brothers Karamazov"? - Do not think about it. But this is just the reverse situation. As we can complement each other, that bring a symbiosis? I would be interested in doing something with Nino Katamadze with Zemfira. - In Russia, many speculated about the conformism of the rock musician, on the 2nd Were made in March last year at the parade on Vasilevsky descent concert, dedicated to the end of the presidential election. They were accused of "lowering" of the authorities, egoism, etc. "Okean Elzy" in Ukraine, as far as I know, sometimes similar allegations? - At the inauguration of Obama, for example, were very talented American rock stars - and what is that? Why Russian musicians could not play at the concert, which was attended by Putin and Medvedev? It all depends on their nationality. If they get that power - let stand - if not, then not. That's it. Of course, if one of them had acted solely on a fee basis or concerns appear disloyal to the government, you can not take a position. Musician to be honest. But nothing in any other case, not wrong with such statements. I, for example, sang at the inauguration of the President of Ukraine, and for me it was not even interested in a sense of how to participate in a historical event. But if I did not want to do it, no one would have ever done. And still do not. - Her father is now a part of the Ukrainian government is (Ivan Vakarchuk led by the Ministry of Education -. "The News"). This is a definite help to you and "Ocean ..."? - Yes, what a help! I do not believe there is any connection. Father makes many concrete steps in their professional work and, of course, heard a lot of criticism. We were always so: the man does not do - and do not criticize him, and vice versa. This situation in turn name Vakarchuk but irrelevant especially for me. - The official website of "MA" is your appeal to the fans about the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933 and the explanation of the unity of his people. In Russia, at the official level in the subject line are ambiguous, often see it as a gift pedals unfriendly actions of the Ukrainian leadership in relation to Russia. How did you prokommentiruesh? - For me it is obvious that the Holodomor was hit and especially by the Ukrainian people. My family has suffered. And I think that is the objective reality of the issue to discuss much. Another thing is that now that this tragedy translate into a political level, in the right of a state to another, I would not. We all lived in another country, where the identity of the person put his freedom for nothing in comparison to those of the state. And today, claiming to Russia Holodomor - means to speculate on the subject. So after all this, no one in Ukraine and will not do. What happens, happens. But to deny that in the 30s at the cost of millions of lives Ukrainian peasants tried to put his knee is also incorrect, unfair. The challenge for both our countries - all slippery subject lips snack stop. On the contrary, it is necessary prior to the hands. Russia as a friendly nation must agree that was the Holodomor, and Ukraine, on the other hand I must say that this issue is not with Russia claims. Sooner or later, we will come to that learning to listen to each other.
