The "Salt": not enough pepper

Worst-first - folk wisdom could not accurately describe to sing the first part of the Russian rock stars trying "something to people." They wanted something more like ... CD + DVD. "The Mystery of Sound" in 2010. About two years ago I wrote an article titled "Rock and Chanson - twins", which outlines the obvious parallels between Russian rock and Russian as chanson. I never thought that because of the desire to make it, "Nashe Radio" "folk songs in modern sound" will remember it was. Idea-it was beautiful - to remind the public about rock's roots, to encourage them to sing Russian folk songs and at the same time revive rolled the airwaves for fresh music solutions. The "Salt" It seems that this beautiful ship ran aground on the grave. Our rock musicians are willing to broaden their musical horizons, they are warm and cozy, and create many years of work on small world. You keep right, fixed to "awareness" and "brand." Russian and Ukrainian folk songs and sing as sung for centuries, they are not in your hand - I do not know, I suppose. The musicians of incense as hell does not fear new tools - for guitarists no strings, the guitar and the drummer for the world of percussion instruments is within the usual range of drums. And it turns out that was done. Rock Karaoke. Arrangements, very simplified and vocal "learn" in the style of urban romance. In other words, the world Gopnik the door to "the people, the kind of songs." "Kukryniksy" brought the "Black Crow" to bilobate and dirty rhythm guitar pulse, providing bubnezh and anxious keyboard loss. "Chicherin" completely the melody of which was the "subdued" tens of generations, and the reading of the text destroyed, "I'm going on the road," a simple rhythm. Elder "Chaif" melody saved, but saved the simple rhythm to a jaunty story "On the wild steppes of Transbaikalia" - and it's about the escaped convicts, who lost his father and brother ... a beautiful and intelligent, it seems, "Underwood" called "Along the Petersburg" in gorlopansky march. A little-known "Deerslayer" is not loaded - crushing amounts of text in a note. Venerable "Earring" will do the same, only priblatnennee. More priblatnennee sounds "Liapis Trubetskoy." Pretty much the same competition! It is a relative success. Alexander F. Sklyar could feel the subtle tragedy Cossacks prison poetry "Not for me", for some reason called the people, though there have authors - and A.Molchanov N.Devitte. But pulled out of the White Guard popular romance "modern sound" still does not work. Much further in this respect, "Okean Elzy", from the "Oh, it stoїt chii kіn» Make noyzovuyu tragic ballad Arbenina Diana sang the song. "Progressed I'm going home" as well as singing and skillfully planned the secular romance - which is not surprising ?, but where was the way the people Oh podnatorevshy Zdob Si Zdub, the Moldovan folklore arranged into modern language could do more delicate reading of "On the river, on the river" - but for the sake of "recognition" in the hit "Oh my God, wow!"

More specifically, it's just a. And heard ... totally unknown group "Sisters" with the song "Druzhenka." Two soloists plaintive tone and sings beautiful melody and finely framed her guitar battle and sinking prihlopami. The strength of the folk music is that with care it easy for them "removed" all wad master of Russian rock. What is the reason for the tremendous creative failure? It looks like a fuzzy putting problems. In the accompanying DVD musicians talk about folk songs are the right words - the same Zdob Si Zdub recalls poignant performance of "On the river, on the river," Yevgeny Leonov in movies Danelia. Why force them to vulgar gypsy underworld? Only God knows. It turns out that the Russian rock is not of Russian chanson, if displace familiar accents. In a "Salt" could also give many available versions of popular songs by Trophimus, Stas Mikhailov Vaenga done - they would just, and here and there would have potalantlivee fit. Sverkhzadacha rolled for fresh musical decisions, if any, and the shutters was completely botched. Sure, old fashioned radio to blame for their stars. Sure, not the musicians fault - they played as they can. Simply did not exist a star. Do not despair - before new tests. Some ozhivlyazh Zabolots landscape in Russian Rock "Salt" has been done for this form of his ideology. A new music is always born in pain and unpredictability. Russian rock and started once. Oh, how would the reviews of the records that they are now broken! Rating: 5 out of 10. Ken Guru, "Showbiz News NEWSmusic.ru»
