Era of Mercy-2
At a charity concert in support of the Doctor Lisa Foundation, Pilot, Gleb Samoilov and Pelagia played
The second festival "Different people." The first was dominated by gray old rockers, and on this tattooed and with piercing three generations younger. Carried guys, life burners. From them you are least expecting participation in charity and from their audience too. But here I go to Lusine Gevorkyan from the Louna group, and everything turns out not as it seemed to me:
- For five years, since 2012, the volunteers and I have been making acoustic concerts and transfer money to funds. This, of course, is not giant means, but at least something. They go to orphanages or for treatment to a particular child who needs it.
- And who else is participating?
- Mostly young groups, but it happens that Noyz MS plays, is Dima Spirin from “cockroaches”. Big party. People just come, sit on a chair and sing under the guitar. This usually happens in small bars, pubs, where the listener is from you - at the distance of an outstretched arm. Something like an apartment, as in underground times.
- Are you collecting a lot?
- Differently. The last time they collected one hundred thousand. Rubles. A little, but still useful.
-And yet I do not understand how charity is combined with the slogan "Sex, drugs, rock and roll." In my opinion, this is from another opera.
- Easily combined. You choose a certain way of life for yourself, but it does not prevent you from helping children and the elderly. You can stretch with beer at the concert, and come tomorrow and give the funds to the charity fund. The myth of selfishness and the mercantile of the young generation is precisely the myth. The carrier, fireflies and slam do not interfere with being a kind person, in my opinion. And one more important detail: the youth now lives on the interests of society, they no longer pull the blanket over themselves, as in previous years. This was noticeable by the events of March 26. The older generation is crushed by everyday life and it is poorly with a thirst for life. And the young people have everything OK.
About the same Nuki from the "slot", girl Dasha, all in dreadlocks and piercings:
- This is just a manifestation of love of life. Rock and roll for life and charity too.
Ilya Damn, covered with intricate patterns, enters the stage. On the songs of his group “Pilot”, which for many years was in the rigid rotation of “Our Radio”, a whole generation has grown, a generation of zero. After a stupid greeting (“Johang, boys and girls!”), He says something about the face of terrible, kind inside and the song begins about how “a person is found in the heart of a car”. The sound is heavy, powerful, but this does not change in any way.
The devil himself is engaged in charity. In St. Petersburg, under its patronage, the organization "Cossacks" operates. And this is also help to sick children - clothes, diapers, medicines, diapers.
The money raised at the concert will be partially the fund of Dr. Lisa “Fair Help”, partly to four disabled children who are patronized by the festival. Last time, in the same hall, it was possible to collect about 400 thousand rubles. They were enough to bring the little Yegor Rygochikov to one of the best Israeli clinics and help the rest a little. Little, very little, but still helps and at least someone gets better from her.
Lou comes out and sings: " Without a shadow of doubt, not hiding his face / to go to his goal the dear fighter."
Pelagia comes out and sings “I fell asleep in a small arrangement” in a heavy arrangement. This is her first concert in two years, returning to the public, and she lays out in full. It turns out Alexey Romanov with his “Sunday” and sings “teach me how to choose between black and white, so that someone else’s good is not divided into yours.” He is the only representative here of the ancient Russian rock and roll, has been playing for forty years. Gleb Samoilov is published, whose name is forever connected with the legendary Agatha Christie, sings several new hits and a little old.
There are three thousand listeners in the hall. Among them are fifty wards of various charitable foundations, including two stroller, Jennet Alanazarova and the former orphanage of Dima. He has a special story. Even during the life of Dr. Lisa, he went to “fair help” and volunteer. And then misfortune happened to him, and now he is in a stroller, a disabled person of the first group.
“Different people” is the first concert that he attended in three years, although attempts were made. A lively, friendly guy, you can see how he wants to hang out, and loves music. But every time he was brought to some club, the guards gave a turn from the gate. Say what a wild idea to go to the club in a stroller. Why wild?
This festival was born in agony. A year ago, Shevchuk, Sklyar, Makarevich, Galanin, Chizh played on it ... And in winter the news of the death of Dr. Lisa came in winter. The Fair Assistance Fund is orphaned, but is not going to turn off its activities.
As the representative of the Foundation Natalya Avilova said, all areas of their activities remain - and palliative medicine, and helping homeless, and helping the children of the East of Ukraine and Syria. But all this needs money. The idea to play in support of “fair help” and thus honor the memory of Elizabeth Petrovna Glinka came to the head of Grebenshchikov. And then Alexander Chernetsky, the leader of the group “Different people”, a disabled person of the first group, “The last idealist of Russian rock”, as he is called. And the idea of BG has become a reality.
“We cannot replace Elizabeth Petrovna,” says Avilova, “and no one can. But you can try to create a collective doctor Lisa. ” And the fact that musicians participate in this is quite natural. Many rockers helped her during her lifetime.
The third festival is already planned, it will be held in St. Petersburg in the A2 club April 26. It will take part in the “secret”, Maxim Leonidov and Hippoband, “Surganova and the Orchestra”, “Earring”, “Stepanov’s Squights”. Gradually, Chernetsky plans to cover all performers, all styles, all generations. He has large plans, up to stadium concerts in support of sick children. This, of course, is not an era of mercy, but something very similar.
