One of the most anticipated events that all music fans anticipate, domestic stage, is the New Wave 2016 contest. According to the already established tradition, the event will be held in the city of Sochi, in Russian Federation in the period 3-9 September. It is worth noting that until recently (and this is actually two years ago), this celebration was held in the city of Jurmala for more than a dozen years. The concert hall "Dzintari" was specially chosen for these purposes, in which, thanks to the peculiar atmosphere, the concert became one of the most anticipated and impressive events of the summer in terms of its scope. As for the date of the event, there was no doubt about when the long-awaited event would take place, all the organizers had known for quite a long time and were happily waiting for the specified time.

Excursion to the past, in 2015

It is worth considering what were such events as the children's "New Wave", as well as an adult event, in the past, 2015. Then only 15 performers took part, representing about 12 countries. In particular, representatives of Kazakhstan, Croatia, three performers from Russia were noted, one singer even represented Switzerland. I remember past concert just an international composition, which was somewhat diversified by immigrants from Scandinavia, the southern regions of Europe.

By the way, what is noteworthy, it was not the owners who became the winners then, proudly carrying forward the banners of their states. For example, the first place was taken by the representative of Croatia, Damir Kedzo, who impressed both the guests and the judges with his vocal abilities, causing a real sensation at the event. The second place was shared between two participants, one of which was Millane Fernandez representing Indonesia, while Ademi from Kazakhstan was her colleague. Surprisingly, but Russian performers failed to take first place, even the third position went to a musical group from Ukraine.

Among the surprises that characterized not only the performers, but also the songs themselves, the casting then carried out, one can safely name the transfer of the celebration from the traditional venue of Jurmala to Sochi.

Remarkably, the fact that the event will now change its venue was previously announced by the governor himself Krasnodar Territory, after which his words were confirmed directly by famous composer Igor Krutoy. Such a decision was connected with Latvia's ban on the entry into its country of such performers as Kobzon, Gazmanov, Valeria. Remarkably, this decision did not affect other celebrities, for example, Alla Pugacheva is not persona non grata in Latvia. Nevertheless, such an action by the Latvian Foreign Ministry acted as a prerequisite for various rumors about the transfer of the New Wave itself to the cities of Russia. A decision was made to choose Kaliningrad, Kazan, even the newly joined Crimea as a new city. But the choice fell on the tourist capital of the Krasnodar Territory, which is Sochi.

The history of the creation and development of the competition itself

In fact, the New Wave event itself was a continuation of another competition called Jurmala, which was held until the onset of 1990. True, it took more than 10 years to restore the status of this event, the first contest in the new format was held already in 2002, and it was then that the organizers already realized that the decision was right and the new event will undoubtedly be in demand by the audience of potential viewers.

The main stages of development can be distinguished as follows:

• The first competition took place in Jurmala in 2002. The winner then was the growing duet of young guys who took the name "Smash !!", and in fourth place was the real star of Russian musical modernity - Dima Bilan. Among star guests all the first persons of the national stage were noted, popular even after such a long period of time. Well, at the opening of the event, everyone was greeted by the President of Latvia.
• A year later, the representative of Russia, Anastasia Stotskaya, was already in the first place, and both world stars from Russia and various countries Europe. The next year, 2004, did not glorify the celebration with anything outstanding, and, nevertheless, the now star Irina Dubtsova settled in second place.
• 2005 was marked for a reason, because its main muse was the prima donna Alla Pugacheva. In the first place at that time was the representative of Latvia Intars Busulis, the second went to the now popular Ukrainian Tina Karol.

Now it remains to wait what surprise the upcoming 2016 will bring.

More recently, the Latvian Jurmala was considered a prestigious resort in Russia, where you can have a good rest and even stare at celebrities. However, two years ago, New Wave and other Russian festivals for political reasons abandoned the Baltic registration. figured out how the “pearl of the Riga seaside” survived the changes.

Age of Plenty

The founders of the New Wave, the composers, chose Jurmala because this resort was chosen by Soviet pop stars of the first magnitude. Everyone performed here. The first "New Wave" was held with great success in July-August 2002. More than 800 people and several huge trailers with scenery and equipment arrived in Jurmala only through the line of the organizers. The television audience of the competition reached 4 million viewers.

IN different years the festival was attended by, Smash!, Polina Rostova, Nyusha, Jukebox Trio,. Some of the artists, the same Jamal, "New Wave" gave a start in life. Naturally, the festival program called big interest. “Due to the “New Wave”, “Voicing KiViN”, guests and a huge number of Russian tourists who visited the resort in July, Jurmala received large financial income. Restaurants, cafes, hotels and guest houses were overcrowded, rents skyrocketed,” Milana Skumbinya, a Riga real estate specialist, deputy director of Ģlob Al Group, told Lente.ru.

According to her, there were simply no free places in the hotels, the waiters in the restaurants were simply knocked off their feet. Among the very important guests of the resort were - their total fortune is several times higher than the annual GDP of Latvia. Raymond Pauls with good reason said that the "New Wave" breathed new life to Jurmala.

But the festival brought not only joy and fun: several times it turned into fines for neglecting the Latvian language. The competition was picketed by nationalists, and many officials spoke of its undesirability. “The New Wave in itself, as well as in terms of all the fuss around it, symbolizes the post-Soviet space from which we want to leave forever,” said Latvian Minister of Culture Sarmite Elerte.

The practical Russians reminded the Latvians that they were making huge profits. One of the organizers of the festival calculated: “During the “New Wave” period, Jurmala entrepreneurs earn in a week by raising prices by 300 percent! I think there are no such precedents in the world. They make money on us. We pay more than a thousand people, we rent 27 hotels. About 2,000 more people work with us as subcontractors, which means 3,000 jobs.” However, in 2014 the "New Wave" was held in Jurmala in last time. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, Edgar Rinkevich, banned entry into the country, and Valeria because they expressed support for the Russian foreign policy. “I don't want them to use Latvia to propagate views that are incompatible with our principles,” the minister explained. Later, film actors and were added to the list of "banned people".

time to count

As a result, Igor Krutoy announced that he would find another place for the New Wave. And the competition moved to Sochi. Following from Jurmala, other summer Russian festivals stretched - "Voicing KiViN" and "Jurmala". Whole last year the authorities argued that the city did not suffer from the departure of the festivals, and the outflow of Russians was compensated by visitors from other countries. However, at the beginning of June, the complaint of the mayor of Jurmala, Guntis Truksnis, that instead of generous Russians, tight-fisted Scandinavians and Germans now come to the resort, sounded dissonant to this. “Of course it has been a tough year. Due to the geopolitical and economic crisis, outward tourism from Russia has fallen by forty percent. Thirty-three percent of tourists in Jurmala were Latvians, sixty-seven were from abroad. Of these sixty-seven percent, Russians made up forty. If this figure falls by half, then, of course, it affects ... The previous three years, the number of tourists grew by twenty percent. Last year we finished, fortunately, without minuses, but with a little, little plus, ”complained Truksnis.

According to the mayor, the reorientation to less generous guests helped the city not to go into the red. “The number of visitors from neighboring countries the Baltic States, Sweden, Germany, Great Britain… But, of course, tourists from Western Europe consumer habits are different, they are more conservative. The hotels are full, but the bills are twenty per cent lower. I explain this by saying that this is the norm. They just overpaid before,” the mayor reassures himself.

He also resents the fact that the state has significantly tightened the conditions for foreigners to participate in the program "residence permits (residence permit) in exchange for investments" - because of which rich Russians stopped buying land in Jurmala. “The residence permit program, in principle, has been killed. Real estate sales fell eight and a half times compared to the previous year, and we are still happy about it! Our market is not so self-sufficient that we could afford to acquire such. There are so many people in Latvia who can afford luxury real estate... We must be more open and not as xenophobic as we sometimes are,” Truksnis concluded. Many believe that in the person of Truksnis, Jurmala finally got lucky with the mayor - several of his predecessors were convicted of bribery. And the words of the mayor should be heeded.

Milana Skumbiņa confirms: "The move of the "New Wave" to Sochi, a significant decrease in demand from Russian buyers, new geopolitical realities and changes in the rules for obtaining a residence permit in Latvia adopted in the second half of 2014, led to a decrease in 2015 total transactions in new projects in Jurmala by about 72 percent. The number of transactions with private houses in Jurmala fell by 64 percent. And only this spring, after a year and a half of weak demand, sales transactions in Jurmala began to revive.”

About how things are in the city, Lenta.ru talked to former MP local government, a member of the public council at the Jurmala City Council Janis Kuzins. “Among Russians now, mainly those who have already received a residence permit and are now obliged to check in and check their property come to Jurmala. Other foreigners are Lithuanians, Estonians, Scandinavians and Ukrainians. The latter are actively interested in business opportunities in Latvia as a country. By the way, Ukrainian festivals are trying to replace the departed Russian festivals - such as "Quarter 95", "Made in Ukraine" and so on. There is no stability in Ukraine, and many Ukrainian entrepreneurs are looking for ways to withdraw funds from their homeland to Latvia,” notes Kuzins.

According to him, the city is forced to take on the maintenance of the famous concert hall "Dzintari", which previously existed on self-sufficiency. Today, the cost of his rent has tripled. “Unlike the Russians, for vacationers from the Baltics and Ukraine, a ticket to a concert worth one hundred euros is too expensive. Even Scandinavians prefer to spend money not on a live music session, but on a coffee with a bun,” Cousins ​​explains. According to him, if earlier local owners of beach cafes had to pay about a thousand euros per season for renting land, now prices have increased tenfold - although earlier earnings were twenty percent higher.

The smell of the outback

The public figure is sure that it is possible to improve the affairs of Jurmala only by taking steps to resume cooperation with the Russians. And if government has not yet matured, then the municipalities should take the initiative. “Personally, I intend to speak in the public council with a proposal to renew the contract with the sister city of Jurmala, Alushta. Following the example of colleagues from Italy and France, you can gather a delegation of former and current deputies of the Jurmala City Council, businessmen, public figures and visit Alushta on a friendly visit. I hope for mutual support from the administration of Alushta,” he says.

And guests from Russia. It is assumed that it will be much larger than the first - some even say that, in fact, the New Wave will return to Jurmala in a different guise. However, the resort, according to visitors, is not yet very impressive. Here, for example, is the opinion expressed by Pskov journalist Elena Yazemova to Lente.ru: “Legendary Jurmala not only disappointed, but led to a slight shock - my idea of ​​\u200b\u200bit was too far from reality. No, the sea there is wonderful and the beaches are wonderful. But here she is... My husband took me to the sea along one of the central streets. And I look around and think: this is the "same" Jurmala, a fashionable fashionable resort where dachas were bought in batches Russian stars? Backwater backwoods ... "

The real name of Yaseniya is Nana, she was born in Abkhazia, but as a child she moved with her parents to Sochi. Her old dream is to sing with the famous Sochi singer - Grigory Leps.

The idea of ​​participating in the "New Wave" was suggested to Denis by friends, but he himself did not follow the competition much.

I was advised on time to apply for participation in the "New Wave" - ​​literally a day before the deadline for accepting applications, I managed. And here I am in the final! I sing at the competition what I like. It is important!

Like Denis different styles- indie rock, funk, disco, rock and gospel. A few years ago, together with his group, he already released an album - "Triton - I" m siberian ".

The brightest and most interesting for me at the competition was Jamala, she is one of my favorite singers ... I believe that the "New Wave" will be an impetus for my future career, I believe that I will adequately represent my country and come home with a prize.

Galina Bezruk (Ukraine)

Another contestant from Ukraine is actress and singer Galina Bezruk. She began her career on television with the show "Voice of Ukraine", in which she reached the final under the leadership of Alexander Ponomarev.

After participating in the selection for "Eurovision" there was an inner feeling: do not stop! She sent an application to the Ukrainian "X-factor", Russian "Voice" and "New Wave". And it fired. The jury included Viktor Drobysh, Igor Krutoy, Ilya Revzin, Keti Topuria. I noticed that during the performance they compared what was happening on the stage with the picture on the monitors. Since this is a television competition, it is very important how the artists look in the frame,

Sasha Zakharik told the Belarusian edition.

Alexandra Zakharik graduated from Belarusian State University culture and arts by class pop vocal. And after graduation, she became a soloist in the Lipnitsky Show Orchestra and the jazz group Apple Tea. He is a laureate of the special fund of the President of the Republic of Belarus to support talented youth.

Konstantin Rabotov, a contestant from Bulgaria, is well known to Russian viewers - last year he took part in the show "Voice", and at a blind audition all the judges turned to him at once. Before that, Konstantin did not perform on stage for about 6 years, being engaged in teaching activities.

I made the decision to take part in the competition because I want to develop singing career. "New Wave" is a forum where a lot of people from show business gather, a lot of producers, and maybe someone will notice me.

It is highly likely that Philip Kirkorov, who traditionally praises the merits of the New Wave contestants from Bulgaria, will pay attention to Konstantin.

Dino (Croatia)

The 24-year-old contestant from Croatia, Dino Jelusic, will have a responsible task on the New Wave - to show himself no worse than his predecessor Damir Kedzo, who became the winner of the competition in 2015.

This year Italy will be represented in Sochi by Walter Ricci from Naples. Walter began to study music at the insistence of his composer father and at first sang with his brother, trying to cover famous Italian and American songs:

My vocal style is quite "dark and warm". It is reminiscent of the style of the old era of American swing music. I am working on my own means of musical expression to avoid being dependent on one particular genre.

Walter considers John Legend to be his musical idol, who, in his opinion, is the best at combining traditional mototown and soul with modern sound.

The winner of 2009 from Indonesia, Sandy Sondoro, made a great impression on me: how much energy, charisma, what a timbre! To get to this competition was not only my dream, but also of my whole family. This year the stars aligned so that our dreams came true. All my beloved Georgia will support me.

The second representative of Georgia on the New Wave 2016 is Georgy Nadibaidze.
