Если вы хоть раз бывали на фестивале «Саянское кольцо», то наверняка название группы «Аллегория» вам знакомо. Выступления этих ребят из Минусинска, играющих этно-рок, сразу «цепляют». Среди них мало профессиональных музыкантов, но назвать их уровень любительским язык не поворачивается - очень уж красивые и сложные аранжировки они делают, экспериментируют с различными инструментами, музыкальными размерами и т.д. Однажды обратившись к славянским корням, они вдохнули новую жизнь в напевы наших далеких пращуров, придали им современное звучание. Услышав которое хотя бы раз, уже не забудешь и ни с каким другим не перепутаешь. Читать полностью »

On 28th May, in the official web site of the International festival of ethnic music “Sayang ring” was published list of the music bands that pretended to the Siberian award “Zolotaya Iriya” 2009. It’s pleasant, there are bands from Khakasia and Krasnoyarsk region in the list of nominees. They are Abakan folklore ensemble “Zvony” (leader is Gennady Lashkin), young ethno-rock band “Telengit” (newspaper “Chance” written about it recently) but it is performing to republic of Altai and, certainly, famous Minusinsk band “Allegoriya”, that awarded prize “Zolotaya Iriya” in 2007.

The folk-rock band “Allegoriya” was founded in Minusinsk town in October, 2002. Later on 16th February 2003 there took place the first concert of this band. The guys sung the “Kupala” song and everybody was amazed. They were showered with new concert offers... But let us not be in hurry and put everything in right order.
I make an interview with the leader of the band Yegor Kosolapov. To be honestly, it is unbelievably interesting to have a conversation with the man who knows music and understands its “soul”.

This group became pride of Minusinsk, in any sort its symbol. In their many cities the group of support wait and here now they should become, seemingly, known all Russia. As the newspaper «Krasnoyarsk worker» has informed, following the results of the international youth festival in Ulan-Ude it have suggested to remove the videoclip. Than not an occasion to a meeting? And we have thrust to musicians on a visit. The apartment in which us have invited, has met the creative disorder. But we also did not wait for European-quality repair - a platinum disk "Allegoriya" yet has not let out. Having got on a sofa established not clearly on what, but time into two above the "not musical" colleagues, we begin conversation.

First times band "Allegoriya" I have seen at a cinema (then still) "Rossiya". Have stepped on the stage - barefooted, in the embroidered shirts, with guitars and with the unconditional statement:" Slavs and drugs - things an essence not joint". Have started singing. Sang something very beautiful and obviously very Russian; such, know, vagrant gusla players. The action has come to the end, and about "Allegoriya" I have safely forgotten for some time. Has recollected, when has heard about them after "Allegoriya" victory at once at two competitions -"Rossiya molodaya" in Krasnoyarsk and at annual festival of an author's song in Sayanogorsk. And here I at them, sit in apartment and wildly I regret that the newsprint cannot transfer this atmosphere. Music, a guitar in a corner..., and to me show a video topic from competition in Sayanogorsk and something explain about what talents and that author's music already at all that there were... Itself realising nonsense of the first of the prepared questions, nevertheless it I set, though, what here the answer and so all is clear.
