"Krambambulya" sings at corporate parties of programmers and Mazyr OPP
Meanwhile, Anatol Yarmolenka with friends entertains the Federal Security Service of Russia on Christmas.
Despite the crisis, Belarusian musicians are highly demanded at New Year parties. The band "Krambambulya", non-officially forbidden in Belarus, hardly has any free days in December.
"I wouldn't say that we
have many invitations, but definitely not few. In comparison with the previous
year there are much more. This is good, we will have time to celebrate, and it
won't interfere with our lives, - frontman of the band Lyavon
Volski shares his happiness, and reveals their steady clients. - IT-companies make a great share
of them, including the state ones - once we performed for, it scares me to say
this, the Mazyr Oil Processing Plant".
Volski and company will celebrate the New Year in the Moscow club Pipl, at
the party "New Year in Belarusian". Among the participants there are"Krambambulya", Pomidor/Off, DJ papaBO, and "Lyapis Trubetskoy", whose
director Yauhen Kalmykou says that this year the musicians
shortened the number of well-paid corporate parties.
"Naturally, we like
concerts better, but it would have been stupid not to perform in December. It
is getting more and more difficult for us to play at corporate parties as the
older audience wants to hear old songs when they invite "Lyapis
Trubetskoy", - Yauhen Kalmykou explains
the tendency. - However, there are always young
people at every corporate party, who want to hear "Not to be a
Beast!" etc. In the end of it all, we decided to decrease the number of
corporate parties next year".
The dinosaurs of the Belarusian and Soviet stage - the band "Syabry"
- like concerts better. However, they also play at closed parties. No wonder -
even the Federal Security Service of Russia and "Dynama" Moscow
hockey players want to hear Yarmolenka! Just try to refuse!
"I don't like corporate
parties much but there is an economic necessity to work a lot. Nevertheless, I
always stop working by December 30, - confesses frontman of the band
Anatol Yarmolenka. - Several days ago we played for
"Dynama" Moscow. Sometimes "Lukoil" invites us, or the Federal Security Service of
Russia, or some banks".
Anatol Yarmolenka says
that he doesn't know the price of his band. Like, there is a fixed rate but it
is the director's business to negotiate.
As for the corporate payment of Belarus' most recent representative at
Eurovision Anastasia Vinnikava,
it grew by several times, according to her. Meanwhile, the young singer has
songs only enough for forty minutes!
"There are corporate
parties, although not too many. There are a lot of charity concerts, the time
table is full, but these are not corporate parties. For example, "Song of
the Year" is tomorrow.
If any of you wants to order Euroradio for a corporate party, please write to
our official e-mails. We will be happy to entertain you, and tell about this later!)
This does not concern the KGB.
