"Bazaar" records an atypical rap in Russian. Hip-hop-duet , consisting of Dmitry Milaev and Dmitry Neustroev, demonstrates a voluminous vocabular and skill in the selection of a word, good musical taste and a great love for ethnic music-especially the eastern one. Music is made themselves using ethnic instruments. They do not buy bits in libraries and from Gostostrati.
The debut album of the duet is successfully called: on it, connecting South American, Balkan, gypsy, Middle Eastern and blues motifs with hip-hop bat, Dmitry Milaev and Dmitry Neustroev are looking for Lingva Franca today, uniting the inhabitants of the Big City, they may well become a sanglobalist songs about love for a woman and for a woman and for a woman and for a woman Music in the spirit of those that records the "bazaar".
Then they themselves will tell about themselves and their songs.
Our name is Dmitry Alexandrovich Milaev (young, beautiful, 24 years old, born in Magnitogorsk, in Moscow for seven years) and Dmitry Dmitrievich Neustroev (bearded, beautiful, 28 years old, born in Irkutsk, in Moscow 18 years old). We met five years ago in the jazz club Alexei Kozlov, worked as a bartender and a waiter. Frusted. Both were fond of music, played on guitars and wrote music to nowhere. At some point, when Dmitry Alexandrovich has somewhat mastered the program for writing music, they began to try to write tracks. In 2017, Dmitry Dmitrievich met Alexander Ogorodnikov , who lacked Russian -speaking material. Then we decided to write EP for him. By the way, at that time we did not have performing ambitions at all. In the summer of the same year, EP was ready. Dmitry Alexandrovich wrote most of the arrangements. Then we worked and almost sold one of the songs for a thousand dollars. The deal fell at the last moment. But we have already decided that we would earn music. We had a plan: write hip-hop tracies and sell them. Of course, before that we did not hope to earn money with a musical craft. As it turned out later, they did the right thing that they did not hope. But it was too late. We imagined that everything will work out, you just need to write a lot and get ties in the industry. These connections, by the way, were not there, and we, of course, did not sell a single song. But the decision to become professional musicians has already been made, and we began to devote all our free time to music.
Hip-hop without living instruments did not attract any of us.
Dmitry Alexandrovich wrote Bits and read rap, Dmitry Dmitrievich wrote texts and sometimes sang. (Nothing has changed.) Both prescribed live tools. Then, as now, sometimes the samples used, sometimes they played themselves on different guitars, ethnic pants, etc. Hip-hop without living instruments did not attract any of us. All our music, with bitmakers did not cooperate.
The music of different ethnic groups attracts us thanks to its “colorfulness”, expressiveness. I would like to write in different moods. Someone said that music is the easiest and cheapest way to travel. In principle, it looks like the truth.
There are many of them. Let the Beatles , Pink Floyd , Enrique Moorete, Tigran Amasyan, Cesaria Evra, Yasmin Levy, Mark Nopfler be.
Nobody likes comparisons at all, but both are loved by both scriptonitis. Consciously never copied him. Somewhere similarity, probably, is the truth.
Some of the long -standing ideas embodied in the "lingua of Frank". As we have already said, I would like to make music diverse, colorful, original. Hip-hop in this sense gives more freedom than any other genre, oddly enough. Not a single band will play the genre in the world (we do not know such). In hip-hop -why not? There would be tools, samples and a desire to experiment with live sounds.
