Mikhail Visel. Kusturitsa-Umza-Tsa

Prosper Merima once explained to Pushkin that he composed his "Songs of the Western Slavs", which Pushkin took for the genuine in order to laugh at the "local color", in which we blindly hit the summer from the birth of Christ 1827 .

The yard is not summer, but the first winter of the XXI century. But the fashion for Koler Lokal, especially Balkansky, does not go through, but only expands and deepens.

Confirmation of this is an event called Unza Unza Time , arranged on January 31 in the GCZ Rossiya, to the great horror of Kapletinersh in strict branded jackets, an emir of a sorcerer's bush, in which Moldovans, gypsies and even some kind of Garik Sukachev also participated, and Dmitry Dibrov is unexpectedly He turned out to be in the role of Sprechstalmeister.

ZDOB SI ZDub and “untouchable” famously played out their programs (the Moldovan-Sysygan version of the noise of Tseevskaya “saw the night” performed by ZDOB SI ZDub and the Trio Erdenko), but, of course, the performance of The No Smoking Orchestra as such, it was quite difficult to name.

The “Twisted Purder” group (which means no smoking ) was formed in the early 80s to practice hard rock with evil texts and the uniform stage behavior a la The Rolling Stones -I’m afraid that by that time it was already somewhat old-fashioned. However, the leader of the group, known as Dr. Nelle, Karazhlich, not only forced the girls from the audience to arrange a slight striptease on the stage, but could easily shout from the scene “Marshall!”, And everyone understood that it was not so much about the embarrassed amplifier , but about Marshal Tito.

A saying about a little dog, which is always a puppy, with respect to the charming Dr. Nella worked impeccably: he still still portrays a miniature Balkan Mik Gegger - grabs himself for a gulf, sprinkles into the mineral water hall, pulls out on the stage of girls, he kisses them and dances brutal tango with them, and is carried throughout the scene and along the whole scene and along the whole scene and along the whole scene and along the whole scene and along the whole scene. The whole hall, kneels and lies on the floor and the like. When at the same time he also sings seriously, all these grimaces of the rock star of the 70s are somewhat comical.

It seems, however, that the No Smoking Orchestra themselves are fully aware of this: half of their performance was occupied by a frank and not always decent booth - with a running around three rows and one after another, jumping with a hall and a game on the violin with a bow inserted into the most inappropriate places. The singer in an embroidered gold folk dress, which the tongue somehow will not turn to call the back vocalist somehow decorated the concert and epic dimensions.

It is difficult to somehow determine the sounding music itself, but it is easy to imagine to everyone who watched the Black Cat, the White Cat: after all, it was the No Smoking Orchestra that the soundtrack was made to him and many concert numbers were taken directly from the film. The only difference is that they were imposed on a more dense rock and roll rhythmic base, with bass and shock.

It's time to ask: what about Bukeless? Before the concert, Kusturitsa introduced himself as Sergio Leone-Junior, courageously greeted the audience in Russian (the day before, at a press conference in a club with the name of the “Zeppelin” pleasing to the old-fashioned music lover, it turned out that Kusturitsa understands almost everything in Russian) and then ran in his sports pants and fufike, jumped with an inconspicuous face, rolled up with an inconspicuous face In his mouth, not lit a cigar and quite conscientiously played simple chords on the guitar. More, of course, he "worked on the image", involuntarily being the second (if not the first) frontman. Together, the little jumping doctor Nelle and the monumental bureau seemed to the parody turned inside out the AC/DC tandem-a brisk miniature guitarist-virtuoso Angus Young and a healthy strong vocal uncle Brian Johnson.

Actually, the very title manifth of the Unza Unza Time program: "In the Beginning, in the 1997, the White Man Had British Pop, The Black Man Had Soul ..." - is a parody of 20 years ago AC/DC - Let the LET THEER BEERE BEERE BEERE Rock .

But, of course, the role of Kusturitsa did not at all come down to just hinting at the glorious rock and roll past-it would still be too simple for one of the best directors of our time.

Above, I said that Dibrov was in Russia in the role of Shprakhtalmeister, that is, the director of the circus administrator. Director - but not a director. The director of everything that was happening was different, and his name was well known to everyone.

Dibrov told the audience that they all received a unique opportunity to participate in the shooting of the most mass scene of the new Kusturitsa film. It seems not entirely true. From the moment of shooting to the moment the film goes on the screen, when it begins to have an emotional effect, it takes a rather long time. Here, the emotional return arose instantly. On the stage of “Russia”, after a couple of musical numbers, he was firmly established, to the greatest pleasure of the assembled, well -recognized world of “underground” and “black cat and white cat”, dancing in the aisles began twenty minutes after the start, and by the end of the presentation they dancing crawled. It ended in all complete apotheosis - Dr. Nelle invited everyone to dance on stage, and it became completely impossible to divide those present at the audience and musicians.

So it will be more correct to say that each concert of Emir Kusturica & the No Smoking Orchestra is the finished film by Emir Kusturitsa. More precisely, a work of art in the genre "The film of Emir Kusturitsa", because every big artist will recover the genre in which it works again.

In fact, Kusturika uses his old friends as the source material to create this new work. I don’t only know if the musicians themselves give themselves a report.

The fact that for Kusturitsa music is only a means of achieving their own goals was indirectly confirmed at a press conference. When asked if he is going to remove the dogma film and play the AnplaggD concert, Kusturina spoke for a long time and enthusiastically about the proximity of all his films to the Dogme. He said about the acoustic concert only (and then after the reminder) that for the music they play, this is impossible. Although almost all the tools on the stage were precisely acoustic.

For two years of performances by Emir Kusturica & the No Smoking Orchestra, 200 concerts have already given. Right, any Hollywood producer can envy such performance.
