"Ivan Kupala" - "Homeland"

"Ivan Kupala", since its inception in 1998, has always been a place of the addition of the three components of the Russian pop music, which usually overlap in any way. Group received acclaim and criticism, and the love of the audience. But in addition to two typical components of the success of any team, they have been at the forefront of a particular ethnic music and dance. Internet Sharing. Yandex Music, 2012. Genre: Electronic music, contemporary folk music debut album "Kostroma" his eyes seemed large Russian population to the musical roots of the population, which had no idea it open. It turned out that Kalinka-Malinka and boxes out of proportion to this, the so-called have "authentic" Russian folklore. But in the villages, it is not singing about the Russian soul and the vastness of the homeland and its youth, unrequited love and a tribute to the pagan gods make. Who would have thought that most "real" folklore is not propaganda and jingoistic patriotism, and most of that is on humane pop songs. But, and this group is not stopped. Dug gold mine in singing grandmothers old women, were the founders of the collective Denis Fyodorov, Alexei Rumyantsev and Alexei Ivanov ore vein made artwork. Themselves, they argued that only went to the streets Deep Forest, but in fact, has never been French apologists sounded modern ethnic music. "Ivan Kupala" could find the delicate balance that allows easy music ancestors in the heart of the modern listener penetrated. What's the secret, difficult to answer, but not a certain socio-cultural impact of her music reject. The second album, "Radio Nagra" made the band even more recognition from the critics, but the same sound as the debut, he was not able to reproduce itself. Public nakushatsya ethnicities? Probably. Were Fedorov, Rumyantsev and Ivanov took the appropriate conclusions? I think so.

The group does not have the ability to pop hits like baked cakes every six months, and the explanation for such a long break to spend, so that the work on the new material is too difficult from a technical point of view, quite fit here. But obviously one more thing - the group was too long. As long as that. The new generation of students who have no idea who the "Ivan Kupala" After which the team fell out of the mainstream, introducing today's interest only to their fans and music critics. However, the work was finally completed, and "Ivan Kupala" presents a new album called "home." The record opens with "corn" suggests that never before such a group does not sound like a Deep Forest. However, the following material is waving all doubt that they are stuck in the creative growth. The "old" published another single in 2011, could be a big hit when our radio was not this aspect (and you've heard that song on the air?). Group added to the composition of Indian motifs, all spiced up with modern drums, in the spirit of the last album Sade (!) And trendy electronic sounds. This is where it becomes obvious that "Ivan Kupala" never were supporters of Deep Forest and do not have any followers. You - completely independent phenomenon in modern music, and they deny this in numerous interviews. Next album begins to gain momentum. Effect is applied at the beginning of the song "bills" remind us make a lot of noise in the '70s vocal ekzertsisah of "What did I say" Ray Charles. Then there are surprises everywhere: oriental flutes in "table", dubstep and drum 'n' bass in "Balabai" trip-hop instrumental bit in "Gamelan" Eastern European pipe "Well done." In There are also moments when the "SAG". For example, "Kotok," which sounds like a continuation of "youth." In addition, "Ivan Kupala" contain between songs recited passages where the grandmother tells Russian folk tales. Maybe it was a way to diversify the record, and may be able to withstand a concept album. However, nothing good comes out of this idea did not work, because this difference interfere in the mood to perceive music as an integral work. In summary it can be said that no violent reaction this album is not - this is not the 1998th Influence, such as the segmentation of contemporary music, and the inability of our radio something new and different exercise. However, the "homeland" - is a strong argument that all new - well forgotten old. And the funny thing is, that is until the end of listening to the album recording will not compare to the Deep Forest (here three times), and the plate Madonna "Ray of Light" 1998 (because that's the irony is, the band appeared just ) this year. It was too avant-garde in the arrangements and sounds from the spreadsheet, a new entry in this group that our audience has long been written off.
