Zemfira and Ivan Urgant

This week's Friday edition of the show Evening Urgant"was special - the broadcast was dedicated to the studio that became, and the film about her concert performance in Moscow, which was filmed by Channel One and shown to its viewers immediately after the program of Ivan Urgant.

Before the singer appeared in the studio, Ivan remembered that Zemfira had become the first guest in the history of the program, having come to record her first release. He congratulated the guest on the past birthday and the major concert tour "", which took place from February 4 to April 1.

I have not had bad tours for a long time, - the singer answered the question about how the concerts went.

Ivan remembered that Zemfira sometimes jumps from the stage into the hall during her performances. She replied that she had done it ten times.

Thirty seconds before the jump comes the understanding that I will jump. Tight rows cannot part. If I perform in trousers, then I usually have heavy boots on my feet. I try to bend my legs so as not to hit someone on the head,” she said of her jumps into the crowd.

Zemfira remembered how she once received a letter from a fan in which she asked to tell the drummer that her eye had healed and everything was fine with him. It turned out that the girl suffered from drumsticks thrown into the hall.

Ivan asked how the artist's day goes before a big performance. Zemfira replied that during the filming of the concert film, on which director Ildus Kurmaleev and producer Konstantin Ernst worked with her, film crew went to the gym with her.

I love running and fitness. I can't run without music. I've been running since summer latest album red hot chili peppers, - admitted the guest of the broadcast.

Ivan Urgant also reminded her of the boat that fans brought to concerts in St. Petersburg and Moscow during the tour " Small man". Zemfira got into it, and the fans passed the ship from hand to hand, as a result of which their idol "floated" around the hall. According to the singer, the appearance of the boat at the first concert was a surprise for her.

Renata (Renata Litvinova - editor's note) made a remark to me why I got into the boat, as if it had been planned that way. But at the second concert at the sound check, we rehearsed how I got into it, - said Zemfira.

Recall that she helped her friend in the preparation of this concert tour, taking on the duties of a video director.

On the set of the program "Evening Urgant"

On April 1, the first of two concerts by Zemfira Ramazanova as part of the Little Man tour took place at the Olimpiysky sports complex in the capital. Tickets for big show has not been on sale for a long time, the concert has become the most important city cultural and social event. BORIS BARABANOV looked at the stage and the audience.

The "Little Man" tour and the April Fool's concert at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex are a tribute to a tradition that seems to have developed to the surprise of even Zemfira herself. Since 2000, every eight years she has performed on April 1 in this hall and every time she makes the show bigger and gathers more and more viewers. In 2016, not having a new album on the agenda, she was even forced to announce the second date at Olimpiyskiy, April 3, which is an unprecedented event for the domestic concert industry. Tickets for April 1 sold out instantly and became something of a currency. The tour was sold out and was under close attention press and the Internet community. Everyone argued about what Zemfira had in mind when in Nizhny Novgorod announced the termination of touring activities, and was she right when she asked the audience to remove the Ukrainian flag at a concert in Vilnius. The music and the singer's new concert lineup were not as hotly discussed as ticket sales and scandals inflated by the media.

The concert on April 1 at the Olimpiysky was, according to Zemfira, the main thing for which everything was started. From the first steps in the hall, one felt the weight of responsibility, which put pressure not only on the singer and the organizers, but also on all those who came. 30 thousand people is only 6 thousand less than the hall can accommodate in a sports configuration. This is a record. The feeling of a huge space, in which the beams of searchlights seemed to dissolve into darkness, without reaching the shore, was unlike anything that happened here. Perhaps this is how the audience felt at the concerts Pink Floyd in 1989.

It was possible to “take” such a hall with hits, especially since Zemfira was not constrained by the presentation of the album and could well build a program from the best. But she has her own ideas about the right setlist: no concessions. Of the 19 songs that made up the main part of the concert, only two or three could be categorized as more than just hits. different years but to the number of things that unite a nation. But they are also arranged for the current program in an extremely radical way. In the main array of music there were many songs from the album “Live in your head” (2013), there were two things from the album “Thank you” (2007), which was not understood by the general public, three songs from “Vendetta” (2005), an indispensable “Love as an accidental death”, as well as the unofficially released song “For Tickets”. This part of the concert was closed by the song “Lightbulbs” (“Light Bulbs”) by Zemfira’s side project The Uchpochmack, the entire tour is named after a line from this song.

The songs were performed to the accompaniment in their entirety foreign composition musicians who accompanied Zemfira throughout the tour. The forces of five legionnaires made dense dark arrangements with the maximum use of two electric guitars, and this did not encourage easy pastime. It is worth adding that the complex gloomy sound new group The acoustics of the Olimpiysky sports complex did not serve the best. Per technical support foreign professionals were also responsible, but Zemfira's current partners failed to overcome the hall, as another foreign technical team did at a concert in 2008. In any case, this applies to the most information-laden songs, those that involve empathy rather than nostalgic dances. Each beat of the drumstick was not only electronically processed, but also reflected from the stands, and it was difficult to separate the ingenious new sound from the usual echo.

Wherein most of those present clearly enjoyed what was happening. This was clear both from the reaction in the hall and from the subsequent comments in in social networks. Zemfira's loyal fans, whom she defines as a fan zone, are a special resource for the tremendous success of the tour. These are the people who are the first to buy tickets, go to all the singer's concerts and come up with flash mobs. Here at Lightbulbs, for example, a sailboat hung with light bulbs floated over the hands of the inhabitants of the dance floor - an amazing gift for the heroine of the evening. Another category of absolutely enthusiastic spectators is those who love Zemfira quietly, at home, but for a long time and for life. Those who, in principle, rarely go to any concerts, for whom Zemfira's performance is an important and expensive experience of socialization. For such viewers, critical perception is completely disabled, at the very first sounds of familiar chords, the intracranial player turns on, and they no longer sing along to the singer on stage, but to their youthful memories. And, finally, a relatively small category of viewers - those who are really interested in her progress, the course of her thoughts, but who still want entertainment. I would venture to suggest that for this part of the public it was not easy to live up to the encores, among which were “P.M.M.L.”, “Iskala” and “Do you want?”. Some didn't budge.

Zemfira's new show turned out to be a story not only about the burden of responsibility, but also the burden of popularity, the burden of independence, and, in the end, the pain of family loss. Zemfira definitely took a new bar, choosing those musicians whom she considers the best for herself, selecting songs that she considers appropriate, showing a grandiose commercial result and demonstrating what it means to “be a free man". But no matter what she said about the happiness of preparing this program, it was difficult to believe in Zemfira's happiness to the end.

famous singer in our country is Zemfira, who has a large army of fans. Soon, fans of the performer will receive a pleasant surprise from Channel One. On October 14, the TV version of Zemfira's concert, which took place at the Olimpiysky, will be shown on the First air. He became last performance, with which the singer ended her Little Man tour. The concert took place on April 1, 2016.

It is worth noting that the performer chooses such a place and time for the third time in a row. Your first solo concert in the "Olympic" she also arranged on April 1. It happened in 2000. FROM musical compositions singers, Russian music fans associate high-quality Russian music. FROM certain periods The lives of many people who grew up in the 90s are associated with such songs as “Do you want?”, “Without a chance”, “Crows of a Muscovite”. Fans of this performer know many of the singer's compositions by heart. In her lyrics, the performer says that she can be understood with the heart, not the brain.

An absolutely new Zemfira appears before the fans in each of his albums and each new tour. Fans who are at her concerts can hear a new mood even in songs that have long been familiar to many. Everything that has happened in her life in the last six months - all this was done specifically for the concert at the Olimpiysky. On it, the singer presented her concept for 16 years. According to the performer herself, although now Hard times and circumstances in life are not easy, however, despite this, she decided to arrange her new concert tour and, as the singer says, he turned out to be happy for her. At the same time, the singer herself says that she is glad that she was able to enter the Olimpiysky stage for the third time. As Zemfira says, she does not even want to think about whether she will have a fourth time.

On the eve of her new concert tour "Little Man", Zemfira became a guest of the Pozner program on Channel One: for the first time in for a long time the singer gave an interview. The artist spoke about her attitude to glamor, the injustice of God and the unwillingness of Russians to work, as well as again confessed her love to Paul McCartney and Viktor Tsoi. The conversation caused a mixed reaction from many viewers, and unflattering comments rained down on the artist. However, it turns out that Zemfira herself was dissatisfied with the ether. She called this interview a "failure".

“I believe that everyone should have such an epic fail once in a lifetime. I think in this case, most of the blame was on me, since I was not fully involved in the conversation. Well, for those who expected some kind of heart-to-heart conversation from me, then I have someone with whom to conduct them. And definitely not in Ostankino, not with Pozner, ”she began a conversation with fans in the VKontakte video chat.

The singer once again stressed that she feels uncomfortable in conditions where there are a lot of cameras, people, unusual light. “My beautician was very dissatisfied,” added Zemfira.

Apparently, because of dissatisfaction with herself, the artist decided to “get in touch” again, and therefore agreed to answer questions from fans and took part in an online broadcast. Literally a few seconds before the start of the impromptu press conference, Renata Litvinova appeared in the frame, quickly straightening Zemfira's hair, thereby causing her to smile. During the entire conversation, the artist almost never smiled: she answered questions very seriously and collectedly.

“I read 2 million comments after an interview with Posner that I’m stupid and boring, and I agree to be like that - it’s convenient, smart more demand", - said the singer. Zemfira separately emphasized that communication with the public is given to her with great difficulty, and asked the fans who are guarding her at the entrance to understand and accept this position: “I am not afraid of stadiums, it's true. This is my place, I'm very confident inside the concert, but outside of it, I'm an ordinary person who guards his personal life.

“A concert is a public event that we (you and I) come to voluntarily, flowers on a car are violence, you invade my world without an invitation, I am not ready for this. With all your love, with all my respect. Please don’t, ”the star asked her fans.

The singer said she wants to go to New Year with a sense of satisfaction, which is why now she decided to remind herself: “I haven’t been so public for a long time, it’s a huge stress for me, but if I already fit in, then I need to try,” the singer summed up.
