Leader of "Bravo" Eugene Havtan never hidden his love for the 60's and music of the time. It seemed to some that the very group has already moved into the category of nostalgic rides. However, Eugene Havtan said his group is now in the best shape and happy to listen to the young people. The leader of the "Bravo" not happy with the current situation in the music. - "Bravo" has always played music with a touch of retro. It does not hurt, and the group is now seen as the heroes of the past? - We do not try to revive the past again, and want the music now to revive - says: "Novye Izvestia" musician. - A real roots, it is - the best part was the music that appeared in the 50's, 60's, a bit in the 70's and 80 years was anything but kind of repetition. Hence the word "retro" unreasonable in relation to us. By today's British bands I see a trend revival of this musical roots. Among the young lot of good bands, but most of them have to make "music for a season." - You are invited to retrofestivali? - I was afraid of fire events with the word "retro", because it is about people who go "lifted out of mothballs." We all once played at a festival a few years ago, we were asked to come. Aguzarova with Joan, and we agreed But look, I think, not very organic in the background of what was going on. - I was never a surprise - all of you are happy with your current place in show business? - Absolutely. Today, most of our fans are between the ages of 15 and 25, it is people who listen do not look like modern TV and not on the radio station. They were introduced to our music on the Internet, as I chose a long time ago their favorite music even with "vinyl" records and reels, and I'm pretty happy. Generally there is a sense that the music is all in place and begins to happen as it should be. - A group of "Bravo" still feels the power to surprise and desire? - I was never a surprise, or would a clown or a fakir, or on a stage in a giant yellow shorts. We play concerts, of which our viewers and we still enjoy. - What period in the history of the band of interest you most? - It depends on what is considered a criterion - the money, the number of concerts? Now - If you focus on the inner satisfaction of the company, such a deadline. The biggest commercial success was in the early 90s. We played 15-20 concerts a month, but now it's time for us to remember how scary. Now I understand better what's going on inside me, in the music. I do not need nobody else to hunt, so the greatest feeling of inner harmony today. Group "Bravo" is now forming at the peak of his performing career. We have finally learned how to play, sound, and. Working with the audience in the hall - The existing structure of the music industry is changing rapidly: dying media is music on the Internet. For musicians, this is a positive change? - What is happening today is very good. There are also disadvantages: bright new names that appeared on the Internet, you can count on the fingers. But well, that because of the internet bubble burst - large and small businesses that benefit from the uncontrolled proliferation records. In the 90 years to see how many CDs sold, it was impossible. Our album "The Road to the Clouds" was in the top positions in sales, but only knew the real traffic Publisher. Internet made it possible to show his new ensemble songs and have an audience, not only in Russia but also abroad without middlemen. In the face of television, radio and publishing Media change, that's fine, I've heard that vinyl is sold in the UK more than CDs. I was recently in San Francisco and went to the music store, I visit every time compared to the last visit laminar department was four times less. But people who want to hear the music in good quality, and still buy vinyl and CD. Ensembles that are interesting to me, I buy for my collection on CD - any self-respecting music fan would do the same. - Has the economic crisis, the number of concerts? - Yes, it has affected at all, but in panic, unlike some colleagues who posletali corporate parties, we fell. The concerts were always, and now does everything well. - If in the 80s opened the floodgates, and got out of the underground music groups, many of which do not play a little know how to with great interest and enthusiasm. Now the public has seen it all, it is difficult to stir. - I can not say that the music completely lost interest. So bad, uninteresting - fades. The general perception of music is quieter, but if it is to come to Moscow a good actor, the clubs they crammed. - But the music is no longer a code with which young people are different from their other ... - So it was basically us. Rock music long banned pinched so shook the attitude towards it. In the 60s in England and America, it was more of a fun weekend: Saturday listened, danced, on Monday went to work with a normal head. Now this model is taking root here in playlists young people are no longer very different genres and musical tastes, the kind of self-identification. - After a few "well-fed" years in music began to have some kind of protest back: the musicians involved in the demonstrations, make demands, sing like text ... - I do not think that this is a passing fad. Just a natural reaction to the situation in the country in which we live. Musicians who have expressed a position. - But in the repertoire of "Bravo" is it impossible? - We have never had a social group. In the 80s, many of them sing in the Moscow underground laboratory on the sausage, which was in short supply, we sang about love and about the dudes. The protest is not our job, and every musician is well in place. I have citizenship, but it does not have the music I play are expressed. - What are ways to express it? - We do not want to play at Kremlin Seliger or concerts. Some musicians have understood the desire expressed in the vicinity of everything. We are in 1996 supported Yeltsin, but today I am ashamed of everything. Since not participate in any election or political shows.
