The Network is gaining popularity of clip Varvara Vizbor on the theme of harassment
Granddaughter of Yuri Vizbor and Ada Yakusheva singer Varvara Vizbor has released a new album. Old and forgotten songs, once the executable famous bards, found it new, unexpected sound. But the most popular in the Network uses a clip of “Lucy”, dedicated to the topic of harassment. While the students argue whether so freely to dissect the legacy of the great ancestors, “news” met with the singer.
— Facebook feed wrote that “the beautiful Varvara Vizbor out “the mitten”: polished electronics home album.
— Oh, thank you, thank you. Yes, he released the album a week ago, will present Vegas city Hall on November 19.
The barbarian, my friend quarreled about your new music video “Lucy”, based on an old song by Yuri Vizbor.
— I also read the comments, saw that they are very mixed. Someone praises, someone said that the clip does not fit, someone asks when I last in the queue for the sausage was…
You very suddenly modernized the old bard, make it disco-rock-funk, what else…
— It’s a song with banter, as they say. So I think the mixture of styles worked on its meaning. And I would not say that we made the song terribly modern. The clip, for example, we did artharlem the 70s, inspired by the film “natural Born killers” clip Sensual Seduction Snoop Dogg, paintings, Warhol…
The heroine of the song in response to indecent proposal “let’s go to the room” lit between the eyes your boyfriend. It seems to me absurd that modern Lucy won’t Shine, and with great pleasure will proceed to the rooms.
— Well no, I think the modern Lucy is still between the eyes Shine. Although, of course, always wonder what kind of idea will make the listener. Without this the audience thought the work simply will not happen.
— And all the songs of the album is old hits, which were performed by your grandfather Yuri Vizbor and grandmother Ada Yakusheva?
— Some Yes, but not all. The album includes the song “No, my darling”, sung by Liudmila Gurchenko, and “Love Swan” Valentina Tolkunova, “On my street” by Alla Pugacheva. These songs we were preparing for broadcast “First channel”, but they are so tightly fit in our concert program, we decided to include them in the album. There are still a few songs I had written with my brother, there are songs based on poems by Marina Tsvetaeva…
— By the way, what does the older generation about as original treatments?
— While our grandmother Ada Yakusheva was with us, she didn’t know their songs. My brother and I sang her something, she said, “Oh, how interesting, what’s this song?” We were told, they say, grandma, this is your song. She said, “Yes? Well then, this is really cool”.
In General, the grandmother was like, she was behind the experiments. Among our audience, too, has a pretty old listeners who like our supply. However, for a very long time, the situation of misunderstanding happened. My brother and I first started playing, it was in a small room, came the adults in the name of Vizbor and, of course, was expecting something very traditional. We did not meet expectations, and then the audience began to protest and ask “my Sweet” in the original. But this case was the only one. More such did not repeat.
— “Lucy” — the only clip from the album?
— No, there is a video for the song “Twilight”. This song was written by my grandmother, and the melody was composed too it, but we got it done in my vision. It turned out this city video, we were looking for grandma’s old place in St. Petersburg, the authentic loci. Thank God, while they are easy to find, at least easier than in Moscow. Turned out not gloss the cultural capital, and this psychedelic the inside out. Was also filmed a video for the song “And winter will be big…”.
— There in the clip is the moment where your character is on the brink worth. This installation or the truth?
— This is for real starred. The shooting took place in the Urals — the Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions, the expedition was extreme, we of the mountains rose, and on the edge of a precipice I was standing… here is the story of a woman from a remote Ural village, which was left completely alone, in harsh conditions and in the difficult postwar period finds still power to live for her little daughter.
— I noticed that for the performance you prefer to take the most forgotten songs of the grandfather and grandmother’s heritage.
— No, not true. I choose by one criterion: that which responds most strongly to me. For example, recently I have grown to “my Sweet”. I used to her different attitude, she seemed rustic. And then a miracle happened, I turned thirty, and I finally felt real. Realized that, despite its simplicity, the text is just filled to the brim with kindness and love. Anyway, I included it in the concert program.
And “my Sweet” is such a cool arrangement, like “Lucy”?
— No, the song is more lyrical, warm, arrangement without the acid and rock.
— Barbara, a year ago you took part in the show “the Voice”, where he performed the song Vizbora “Winter”… And there was this incident…
— Yes, there is none of the jury members pressed the button you wanted to say.
— Do you regret that you participated and were not even a qualifying round?
— No, I do not regret. Defeat brings more experience than victory. Can’t say I was angry, but the incident got me all steamed up. And just after a performance on “the Voice” we started recording “Mittens”. It was recorded the month of the year, and, to tell the truth, thanks to the defeat in the “Voice” happened to our “mitten”.
You want bard to revive the heritage, translated into modern rails?
— No, all the old bards do not overpower, and Yuriy Vizbor, and Hell Yakushev — I would like. Their songs are for me a fount of inspiration, and they definitely will also in future albums.
And in addition to songs grandparents than inspired?
— It so happened that the school I our Patriotic literary classics almost did not know. So now I read it with great pleasure. Very supportive Chekhov’s stories. Like Bulgakov’s “Master and Margarita”. Modern considered an outstanding author Pelevin. However, the last book yet do not read. But if we talk about the movie, I, oddly enough, more like not movies, and TV shows.
— And anything. We recently spoke with writer Alexey Ivanov, the author of “the Geographer”, which globe has spent on drink, so he said that the drama series is currently the most advanced cultural products of the mainstream and that series is born a new novel.
— Well, Yes. Good series I love. My favorite is “house of cards”, “Brothers in arms”, and from domestic — “17 moments of spring”, “12 chairs” and perhaps “Elimination” with Mashkov.
— I have one last important question our readers ask. How is your hair?
— Oh, frankly speaking, I got up, and relatives liked it. It is necessary to urgently come up with a name. All I ask, and I don’t know what to say.
