Famous Russian rock musician Boris Grebenshchikov, the leader of the "Aquarium" band, performed his old hits and new songs in Kyiv, Ukraine. Our correspondents were there to listen in.
The legendary Russian rock band "Aquarium" gave a concert in Kyiv's International Center for Culture and Arts. The repertoire of the program "Red River" included 5 new songs and lots of older hits. Fans in seven Russian and two Ukrainian cities have already had a chance to hear the concert. Band leader Boris Grebenshikov is happy with the reception.
[Boris Grebenshikov, "Aquarium" Band Leader]:
"Brilliant. I feel happy when the songs unknown by anybody, suddenly have such a success, and people have such a reaction to them.”
"Aquarium" is truly an international band for this tour. Irish flutist Brian Finnegan is with the group again. Indian percussionist Alok Verma is on drums. However, for many, the leader of the band is the reason they come to the concert.
[Yuri Ziegler, "Aquarium" Fan]:
"I like him because of the nice energy that comes from him, which charges people with positive energy. He is not angry - he is very kind and brings goodness to masses".
[Gennady Sitkin, "Aquarium" Fan]:
"I love ‘Aquarium’ because they offer a window into what I personally cannot experience myself, and with their help, it becomes real. I have loved them for 30 years.”
