Singers from Belarus. Belarusian singers

guitar player Rammstein Paul Landers was born on December 9, 1964 in Brest. He received the name Ivan, and his last name, according to some sources, was Barbotko. In deep childhood, his family moved to Moscow. There, mother and father separated. With a new husband, the mother moved little Vanya to Berlin. From life in the Soviet Union, Ivan has the only legacy left - he speaks pretty decently in Russian.

In Germany, Ivan married Marthe Landers and took her last name, and with it the name Paul. Future star adheres to the rules of the pioneers of Russian rock, and in Berlin works as a fireman in the library. Free time, of course, fully gives music. First he played in the group "Die Firma", then "Feeling B". In 1994, he became one of the founders of Rammstein, whose history is well known to everyone.

The famous composer, jazzman, author of ballets, operas, vocal-symphonic and chamber works as well as many songs for Broadway musicals Vernon Duke was born on October 10, 1903 at Parafyanovo station, Dokshitsy district, Vitebsk region. The real name of the musician is Vladimir Alexandrovich Dukelsky. In green childhood, his family moves to the Urals, and then to the Crimea. In the United States, Vernon Duke moved in 1921, and in 1939 received American citizenship. Now his musical and literary archive is stored in the US Library of Congress, and in Belarus they don’t even remember him.

Outstanding Bass and Stick Player Tony Levin also has Belarusian roots. In one of the interviews before coming to Russia, the musician admitted:

“My mother is from Ukraine, and all grandparents are from Ukraine and Belarus, so I have long wanted to come, see the people here, breathe this air ... I tried to convince King Crimson come here(we are talking about Russia. - approx. Euroradio), I suggested to Peter Gabriel, but I never managed to arrange these tours. Now I am happy and looking forward to how it will be. Anyway, I love vodka!”

Tony Levine played with Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, John Lennon, Dire Straits, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Eddie Van Halen and many other world stars. If his ancestors had not left Belarus, the musician could have taught our rock stars how to use the stick. Or maybe just sleep...

King of the Surf Guitar Dick Dale(real name Richard Anthony Mansour) also does not hide Belarusian origin. His grandmother is local, however, the musician, unfortunately, does not have other information. But it is known for certain that 1962 is considered the starting point of surf rock, when Dick Dale released three major hits: "Misirlou", "Surf Beat" and "Let's Go Trippin". And the last and main wave of popularity of this style is the appearance of the musician's tracks in films. Quentin Tarantino.

David Arthur Brown - American musician, vocalist, songwriter and leader of the band Brazzaville once said:

“I have Jewish roots, and my mother's family comes from Belarus and Bulgaria. I was one of the few white boys in the area, so I feel comfortable among different people and it doesn't matter what color their skin is. Moreover, it always surprises me a little when there are only white Americans around.”

He even thought about looking for the graves of relatives when he came to Minsk with a concert. But there was no time for that.

“This is confirmed by the document - a notarized copy of the metric certificate. It says that Wolf Shlemovich Vysotsky is Vysotsky's grandfather, was born in Brest, and his father, a tradesman in the town of Selets, is Helm Vysotsky,- says the head of the research department of the Berezovskaya regional newspaper Mayak Nikolay Sinkevich.

In Brest, Vysotsky's grandfather Wolf married the paramedic Bronstein. And they played the wedding Jewish traditions. Then they moved to Kyiv, where their son Semyon, Vysotsky's father, was born.

The leader of the group Mumiy Troll” Ilya Lagutenko before the Minsk concert in support of the "Rare Earths" album, he told reporters that he also has Belarusian roots. As it turned out, his grandfather is the same architect Vitaly Lagutenko, who at one time came up with "Khrushchev".

"My grandfather was born in Mogilev, then moved to Moscow and entered the architectural institute. Later he was given a technical task, to resettle people from communal apartments, to make very economical housing - which, in my opinion, grandfather did."

Even the prima donna Alla Pugacheva great-grandfather with great-grandmother (Pavel and Maria), lived in the village of Vzgorsk, Slavgorod district, Mogilev region. At the time of collectivization, Pugacheva's grandfather Mikhail left for Moscow, where his son Boris (father of the singer) was born. The ancestors of Alla Borisovna are buried near Mogilev. And her aunt Valentina Petrovna Valueva still lives in Mogilev.

At Andrei Makarevich, the founder and the only permanent leader of the Time Machine group, his paternal grandfather was a village teacher in the village of Pavlovichi, Grodno province. My paternal grandmother is from the village of Bluden, also in the Grodno province. In 1915 they moved to Moscow, where the musician's father was born. By the way, Andrei Makarevich's maternal grandfather and grandmother are also Belarusians, originally from the villages of the Vitebsk region.

That Norwegian singer and violinist Alexander Rybak of Belarusian origin, all the journalists of the post-Soviet space were noisy. To be proud of the winner of Eurovision-2009, and even the record holder for the number of points in the history of the contest, is not a shame. The Rybakov family still keeps in touch with their homeland, because a maternal grandmother and a paternal sister live in Minsk. My paternal grandmother lives in Vitebsk. By the way, the father of the musician Igor Alexandrovich is also a violinist, he worked in musical ensemble in Vitebsk, and in Minsk chamber orchestra. And my mother worked in the editorial office music programs Belarusian television.

There are many musical stars with Belarusian roots around the world. You can also remember the immigrant Viktor Smolsky- leader of the German metal band Rage and now the Bialystok group Toobes, but the majority still settled on a dimensionless Russian stage: Alena Sviridova, Shura And Leva Bi-2, Diana Arbenina, Boris Moiseev, Natalia Podolskaya and many, many more.

No escape from tradition: on the eve new year holidays and hands itch to sum up the year of the musical. We were curious how many Belarusian artists manage to release their CDs in a year on those 5-6 music labels that are consistently represented on our market?

It turned out that quite a few: with God's help and the active support of music experts, we have compiled a list of all the more or less high-profile releases of 2007. There were 50 of them. The figure, in our opinion, is impressive, although, as you know, a gigantic number of released albums does not always indicate their impeccable quality. We asked the most prominent rock and pop music experts in the capital to carefully study our Top 50 list and recommend no more than five albums for listening.

Expert opinions:

Egor Khrustalev, general producer ONT:

- I would note the album of Galina Shishkova. I can't stress enough that it is made up of my songs, a very important work for me, although I can hardly evaluate it objectively. I don't know why the subsequent speakers don't pay any attention to pop singers. It seems to me music critics must navigate all musical genres, not only in rock. I'm looking at your list, it seems to me that the music for last year is of lower quality than before. When we did "Song of the Year" two years ago, the artists brought good, strong pop music that had apparently been through suffering for several years. Every second song was a hit. There were no hits in 2007. The most stable of the artists represented in the "Top 50" is, of course, Vladimir Pugach and the group "J: Mors". Noteworthy is the Atlantica group. Although, you know, in our production environment there is an opinion that the quality and professionalism of artists are judged not by the first disc, but by the second. So, the first Atlantica album was, in my opinion, stronger. I have respect for all the newly appeared albums of our good old rockers, although, in my opinion, they did not offer anything super new this year. Consistently good, with a plus sign, the group "Krama" makes music. The iconic work "Capital" by the "Lyapis": their musical provocation brought them good commercial dividends. They again returned to their group "all-Union" interest. Recently, we tried to invite them to shoot ONT projects and could not do this simply because of the tight tour schedule group "Lyapis Trubetskoy". I also really liked new album group "Leprikonsy": Ilya Mitko works great in the theme of folk recitative, but he is fatally unlucky. His song "Not a Couple" appeared much earlier than the duet of Potap and Nastya Kamensky, well, Ilya just turned out to be farther from record companies that can provide decent rotation. Although today music labels are already becoming obsolete. I hope that in the future, when our musicians start distributing their music via the Internet, they will gain much more popularity than they have now, in Belarus.

Dmitry Podberezsky, dry music expert:

- From your list, I would mark Krama. With some exaggeration - probably, the Belarusian-language album of the group "J: Mors": after all, not all of their songs are new there. Atmoravi is an original musician, he has his own way, unlike anyone in Belarusian music. In my opinion, each of his albums is very interesting, deep and unusual. My applause Atmoravi. I listened to his demos a long time ago, and even then, five years ago, I was very pleased with this musician. Going further down the list Here is Alexey Shedko, the album "Taiga", of course, this is an album of "old new songs", as one of my acquaintances likes to say. But Shedko, in my opinion, confirmed his extremely high level presence in the music market. You will not find any super-new musical discoveries or surprises in Lesha, but at the same time there are several songs that you want to listen to and listen to. As for the Festival Ensemble, I will say that this is an undeservedly unrecognized and unpromoted group in Belarus, although the musicians are of a very high class. The accordionist and bassist of "Festival" plays in the group "Leprikonsy", which I can't stand, it's below my understanding of music. But when I hear these guys in the Festival Ensemble, my soul rests, they have the most excellent performing level. A very high-quality album was made by Yura Nesterenko, previously this musician was practically unknown to anyone. He lives in Byalynichi, does some business there and suddenly releases a very stylish, very strong album "Svyata vyalikih dazhdzhov", I recommend it to all blues lovers to listen to. I will also say a few words about Sergey Kovalev. Despite my dislike for pop music, Kovalev, in my opinion, is a very experienced author, performer and arranger. God bless him, if all our pop music worked at this level, I would be just happy. I never pay attention to the circulation of performers or groups. The worse our products are, the more circulation, In my opinion. The dumber the music, the more likely it will have more promotion and sales.

Oleg Klimov, temperamental music journalist:

- In my opinion, the two most powerful albums of the outgoing year are Zygimont Vaza - Distortion and Zmyaya - Gost Gusta Dustu Part 1. In a musical sense, they recorded albums that are completely modern - this is such a heavy alternative music, not "terry" like deep purple, for example, namely the music of the XXI century. I remember the album of the "Children" group. "Krambambulya" also supported its status as charming restaurant labukhs with the album "Svyatochnaya". Yura Nesterenko good album. And our "monsters" gave birth to records - N. R. M, "Lyapis", "Neuro Dowel". To be honest, out of all three bands, the N. R. M album seemed interesting to me: I like Lyavon Volsky as a lyricist more when he acts as a philosopher than a warrior. "Neuro Dubel" has the same impression from the Stasi album. I probably came out of the "barricade" age, I want peace, thoughts about life But all these aggressions and scattered emotions do not warm me. Sasha Kullinkovich knows how to write wonderful songs-reflections, like Volsky, he is a great philosopher, but, unfortunately, in the albums of the outgoing year, our rock monsters performed straightforwardly. The same claims to the Lyapis Trubetskoy group. "Capital" is an aggressive record, even fashionably aggressive, and I personally feel sad that Mikhalok could not resist and embarked on fashion. It really surprised me. Nevertheless, 2007, I think, turned out to be fruitful: the rockers released a record and, I hope, in next year they will delight us with concerts. I look forward to tomorrow with optimism: I am sure that after the well-known trips of musicians to the Administration, "blacklisted" groups will appear on FM air and on television, and there we will have many interesting, live performances. And as for records, there will be some calm for sure. As for the pop stage, I certainly like the way Petr Elfimov sings. His only weak point I feel like there is no repertoire. I will not reveal anything new here, but it is not clear what genre Elfimov works in. Who is a pop musician? rock musician? I think Peter himself has not yet decided on the genre. Petya is thrown from side to side, which is why, perhaps, he does not have a repertoire. Need to be determined.

The artist performed in the second semi-final. He failed to reach the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

After the news that the super-popular Ukrainian performer is from Belarus, the news came that he was not alone: ​​our artists that would take part in the Belarusian national selection. Like, there is less competition than in Ukraine, the performers explain.

How can I say… By the way, Belarusians are a very “speaking nation”. Ethnic Minsker Alexander Rybak, remember? And the popularly belovedVerasy”, “Pesnyary”, “Syabry”? They tore up stadiums! And now a new galaxy has come to the favorites of our grandparentsmusicians, many of whom are known all over the world.

1.Naviband

The duet of Artem Lukyanenko and Ksenia Zhuk loudly announced itself during Eurovision-2017. Our Jamala won, but the positive vocal couple of Belarusians received the highest score from the Ukrainian jury and a lot of votes from the audience. Recall that Naviband performed the song “History of Maygo Zhytsya” (“History of My Life”).

Now Naviband is a quintet that also plays guitar-driven pop-rock, dream-pop and breakbeat, mixed with blues and indie pop. Recently, the guys released a new album "Adnoy Darogai" and went on tour. Soon they will also perform in Kyiv - we are holding a drawing of tickets for the concert. Participate!

2. "Bi-2"

Few people know that the world-famous duet of Leva and Shura began their stellar career in the glorious city of Bobruisk.

3. Sergei Mikhalok

The leader of the super-popular group "Lyapis Trubetskoy", which blew up the dance floors for 25 years - from 1989 to 2014. - not so long ago "retrained" into a serious rocker, and his group has already managed to loudly declare itself. The "Lapis" were punk punks, which made them especially revered by young people. Released as many as 13 albums! Well, the brutal Brutto already boasts 5 albums, not counting singles and collections.

4. Bianca

The singer "lit up" in show business thanks to her collaboration with rapper Seryoga. By the way, for this she even refused Eurovision. In our country, not so long ago, she “shot” her - “Doggy Style”. Rumor has it that the famous weight loss of Kamensky was timed to coincide with this event - so as not to seem "too large" against the background of the elegant Bianchi. The singer actively performs in three countries - Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, has many music awards and has released 6 albums. By the way, the other day Bianca shared the good news - she is getting married soon!

5. Evgeny Litvinkovich

A native of the city of Zhodino, he became famous in Ukraine by participating in the show "Ukraine Got Talent-4" and "X-factor". An unusual performer with a strong voice became a superfinalist! And also the winner "out of competition". He made a lot of noise in the Ukrainian showbiz, given the rumors about his gender ... After the triumph in song shows, he began solo career, released singles, videos, went on tour. However, after 2016, there is not much news about him. Probably preparing a "bomb";)

6. Seryoga

"Black Boomer" - this song in the 2000s was known by heart not only by teenagers, but also by adults! Rapper Seryoga (Sergey Parkhomenko) is from Gomel, and began to create in Germany, where he went on a student exchange. There he became interested in writing the so-called sports ditties in the style of rap and hip-hop. He returned home with a baggage of music, and decided to get promoted on Ukrainian TV. Happened. A couple of years ago, he launched the Polygraph SharikoOFF project. He released 8 albums, starred in several films, was a judge on the X-Factor show in Ukraine.

7. Alexander Rybak

The winner of Eurovision-2009 - Belarusian Rybak - performed in Moscow from Norway! That alone made him famous. And after he scored 387 points - a record result - after performing the Fairytale song with a violin, the guy from Minsk became famous all over the world! True, Alexander left his homeland at the age of 4, when his parents moved to Norway, but the family does not lose ties with Belarus. Rybak participated in the jury and was a guest of many Belarusian festivals. By the way, he also appeared in the Ukrainian "Star Factory". This year, the artist again takes part in the national selection from Norway.

Who else can be ranked among the famous Belarusians?

• Marc Chagall (artist, born in Vitebsk in 1887).
