- Where are you from?
- From Belarus.
- Ah, that's where "Pesnyary" is from? (From a conversation)
When you hear the names Valery Daineko, Igor Penya, Oleg Averin, or Alexander Katikov, the first thought is - "Pesnyary"! And no further explanations are needed because today they are the direct successors of the true legacy of "Pesnyary"! These artists, who joined the ensemble during Vladimir Mulyavin's time, preserve the unique singing traditions of Belarus's legendary VJO's "golden" lineup.
From November 16 to 23, for the first time in Israel, there will be a tour by Belarusian Legends who at one time formed the musical foundation of Mulyavin's "Pesnyary."
The ensemble's concert consists of numerous hits written by "Pesnyary" and for "Pesnyary" over the years, forming the "Golden Collection" of the renowned VJO. Their "crystal" polyphony literally envelops the audience, with each song accompanied by long, stormy applause. Wherever the group performs, their concerts are consistently breathtaking.
Legendary songs have a legendary past. Despite the fact that many compositions were written almost half a century ago, they invariably immerse the audience in an unparalleled atmosphere of joy and celebration. The secret is simple: it lies in the unique combination of authentic motifs with modern musical sounds, multiplied by the rare vocal capabilities of the ensemble's soloists.
Today’s repertoire and the singing traditions of the collective largely follow the precepts of Vladimir Mulyavin. Members and authors of many of the collective's songs – Oleg Averin, Valery Daineko, Alik Katikov, using the exceptional possibilities of modern musical instruments, skillfully create an unparalleled rhythmic foundation based on the innovative musical foundation laid by Mulyavin as early as the '70s. Primarily, this is the signature "Pesnyary" four-part harmony: although incredibly complex, it is equally incredibly beautiful! Therefore, the new arrangements are very much in tune with the classic ones that fans of "Pesnyary" cherish.
