In 2005, producer and composer Alexander Dulov assembled a musical team with a unique style of performance - R&B. For the domestic show business, such a team has become a real bomb. The first tracks of the group were immediately picked up by distraught fans. Since then, popularity and recognition have been companions of the BandEros group.
The first composition of the group "Banderos"
At first glance, the team with the eloquent name "BandEros" gathered completely different participants. It would seem that what could be in common between a guy from Chelyabinsk and a business woman from Moscow? And the common thing just turned out to be love for a certain style of music and manner of performance. The initial composition of the Banderos group gathered spontaneously from guys with common interests and musical tastes specific to Russia. In 2005, there was no alternative to such a team, which is why he so famously climbed to the first steps of various charts.
Of course, the non-trivial texts of the author of music and words, which, contrary to all rumors, is the producer of the band Alexander Dulov, immediately captivated the viewer, but without a beautiful performance and fresh faces in the sky of domestic show business, such success would hardly have been achieved. By the way, the producer of the team prefers to remain in the shadows, you will not find his photo in the afternoon with fire on the pages of newspapers or at least on the Internet.
Initially, the team consisted of five people: Batishta, Rada, Natasha, Ruslan and Nazim. And now about all in more detail.
Rada is a business woman from Moscow, a historian by education. Before working in the team, she sang in several little-known groups.
Natasha - Natalya Ibadin, vocalist, originally from Buryatia, graduated from the Gnessin School. For some time she lived and was educated in Holland. Raises two children.
Ruslan is one of the best break dancers in Russia.
Nazim is Ruslan's colleague, dancer of the lower break.
Batishta is the unspoken leader of the team. One of the most popular MCs in the country. Hip-hop performer and composer, collaborated with the "Legalize" team and Decl.
First transformations
The Banderos group initially consisted of five people. Contrary to the opinion that the team was formed on its own, there was a producer of the group. Alexander Dulov signed contracts with these guys for five years. But already after the second clip - "Do not promise" - one of the dancers, Nazim, left the team. Whether the group's management decided to replace him with a more colorful member, or whether Nazim made such a decision due to some circumstances, this remained unknown.
Most Successful Group Member
In 2006, the group is replenished with a new member. Garik mastered education in the class of directing. In the team since 2006. Today, in parallel with participation in "BandEros", he performs with a solo project "Burito". Igor is a famous Moscow MC and DJ. Master of sports in mountaineering.
From this moment begins the triumphal procession of the unique group "BandEros" in the vastness of our country.
The composition "Columbia Pictures does not represent" took first place in the charts for several months. And after the release of the video, it became clear who captured the millions of hearts of our country. The Banderos group, the composition, the age of the participants, the smallest details were of interest to journalists and fans of the guys, but to this day there is not so much information about outstanding performers. The guys protect their personal space, so they try not to shine in camera lenses outside of concert activities.
In 2008, the blonde Rada left the team. The producer and the participants themselves did not comment on this situation in any way, but simply filmed the clip "Manhattan" in which they introduced the new participant. She became a pretty girl Tanya.
The collapse of the team
Such a composition of the Banderos group - Tanya, Natasha, Garik, Ruslan and Batishta - performed until 2010. They won a lot of awards and recorded 6 singles, for which interesting video works were shot. The group constantly toured, not only in Russia and other countries, but also in Europe. In 2010, the dancer Ruslan Khainak left the group, but the popularity of the group did not fade away. It would seem that he simply transformed into a purely vocal one.
In the spring of 2011, the band's fans suffered a real shock: the frontman and one of the founders of the Banderos team left him. Kirill Petrov decided to go solo swimming. The reason was the singer's dissatisfaction with the group's current format, which became more and more pop with each new track. As the performer himself said, relations in the team also escalated. At this time, the contract of Cyril, better known as Batishta, just ended.
The new composition of the group "Banderos"
Today, from the former glory of BandEros, only glare remains. The guys perform, shoot clips, but their lyrics are no longer so sharp and relevant, and the style of performance has become commonplace. After all, more interesting bands and solo performers appear every day in Russia and neighboring countries. There are four soloists in the group today: Tanya, Natasha, Garik and Roman. It was the latter who appeared in BandEros after Batishta left. Roman Pan is a talented aspiring hip-hoper who has organically joined the team.
The "BAND" EROS "group celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. On this occasion, HELLO! talked to the musicians about the importance of humor in their life and work, the three-year-old son of the soloist Natalia Ibadin, Lucas, who actually became the "son of the regiment", and much more. What is the phenomenon of this band?We present interesting facts about the eros band that will help answer this question.
Banderos group in the shooting of HELLO!1. In 2005, their first hit "Don't promise" was released, and today you know the lyrics of the EROS BAND songs by heart, even if you haven't been to any of their concerts.Fact: the taste preferences of an intellectual connoisseur of music, whose interests wander between jazz and indie , will not prevent him, discarding seriousness, from dancing at the New Year's corporate party to "Columbia Pictures has no idea how good it is for me with you", or "She would like to live in Manhattan and share secrets with Demi Moore", or "High five if you still looking for your way...
2. In the songs of "BAND" EROS ", they often make fun of the glamorous world of stars, together with the public, as if watching what is happening and commenting on it from the side: "All Hollywood aunts will gather on the carpet in full dress, look in what outfit, ah ..." , "And even inveterate romantics peck at beautiful candy wrappers ..."

Over the years of the group's existence, its composition has changed: members have come and gone, but the recognizable musical style has remained the same. It is not surprising, because all these years the author of music and lyrics has been music producer Alexander Dulov. Today, "BAND" EROS "is five people: Tanya, Natalya, Garik, Roma Pan and Vova. But the team came to the shooting of HELLO! with reinforcements - Natalya's three-year-old son, Lucas, was with them; the boy became a real "son of the regiment."
When I told the producer that I was expecting a child, he expected me to end my career in the group, Natalya recalls. - I decided that it would be difficult for me to combine pregnancy with performances. However, I carried the baby easily and continued to perform until almost the seventh month. At some point, the guys said: "Maybe you can rest?" I stayed at home for a couple of weeks and called them: "Where were we invited to perform? Let's go, I'm ready." When Lou was born, I took him on tour with me, and today he has his first shoot for a magazine."
Lucas spends a lot of time with musicians and gets along great with everyone. Natasha teaches him manners, Roma teaches him hand-to-hand combat, and Garik teaches him how to braid dreadlocks. He knows many songs, and when he sees the performance of his mother and her colleagues on TV, he starts dancing.
4. “Our music is for everyone,” the musicians say. “At our concerts, we see people of completely different ages. When the group first appeared, we were compared with the American group The Black Eyed Peas, and we tried to determine the style in which we work. we still can’t do this, because this is a real fusion - a mixture of R "n" B, jazz, soul, hip-hop in one bottle. All this, seasoned with irony, is the EROS BAND group.
5. The musicians explain the secret of their popularity simply: they do not try to be more serious than they really are, do not pretend to world domination, but honestly do what brings them joy. At the same time, their repertoire includes many songs with deep lyrics - "Not under this sun", "Life is not a pity" and others. It is worth listening to their texts - there is always a meaning there.
Tanya, Natalya, Garik, Roma Pan and Vova6.
Reckless lightness is part of a skillfully created image, because behind this collective image are years of serious work and experiments.
The soloist of the group Natalya Ibadin is a real tuning fork of the group, she graduated from the Academy of Jazz Vocals in Holland, Gnesinka, lived in Amsterdam for a long time and worked with street musicians before joining the EROS BAND.
Covered in tattoos by Roma Pan, who came to the shooting of HELLO! with a black eye and diligently tried to hide it under dark glasses, quotes Tsvetaeva and writes poetry all his life.
Garik received a directing education, at the same time he is a frontman and creator of his own musical project "Burito".
Tatyana is a pianist who skillfully uses the image of a fatal blonde dinka, and Vladimir, who appeared in the team recently, was previously known as the lead singer of the T9 group.
7. It is noteworthy that even after leaving the team, the creative life of the participants does not end. For example, Rada, a former member of the EROS BAND, is a film producer, working on the film Dancing in the Desert, starring the famous Freida Pinto, which will soon be released in Russia.
8. The band recently released the song "My Sorrow", dedicated to Mikhey - a cult musician in the 90s, the founder of the bands Bad Balance and "Mikhey and Jumanji", who tragically passed away at the peak of his career in 2002.
This song has a special meaning for us. Micah was a significant person in the world of music, he died in the prime of his life and career. This year he could have turned 45. We decided to make a tribute to his memory, so the song "My Sorrow" appeared, the musicians say.
9.
In the near future there will be several more songs with different moods.
Soon a completely winter track will appear on the air, - they say "BAND" EROS ". - It is soulful, but dynamic - in general, it should warm in the cold! And we are also preparing a new album for release. Ten years is such a serious date. Although about 11 years we will say the same!
10. Instead of an afterword: the shooting of the band members took place in the interiors of designer Philippe Starck - in the showroom of the new premium-class house "Dykhanie" in Moscow. Herve Leger cocktail dresses, Philipp Plein luxurious furs, Brioni tuxedos, Jacob & Co diamonds have already been selected. But life offered us a more original scenario. Fashion madness has happened these days in the world - the start of sales of a collection created by the luxury French brand Balmain in conjunction with the H&M mass market accessible to any student. The unprecedented marketing move became one of the most successful in history. The collection lay on the shelves in Moscow for 15 minutes, a window was broken in one of the stores, and an ambulance was called in another: one of the customers, who was literally knocked down by the crowd, needed the help of doctors. The lists of the first buyers included many representatives of the Russian show business, some of them, not finding things of their size, took what was left. The fact that things from this collection are Balmain only externally, and the modest youth brand H&M appears on the tags, everyone somehow missed ...

On the same day, a letter of condolence appeared on the band's official page on social networks: “Our former soloist Rada passed away. She was one of the founding members of the group. Rada spent several days between heaven and earth, being in a coma. We all held our fists for her, but, unfortunately, the doctors were powerless.
Rada left the group at the beginning of 2008, but we continued to maintain warm friendly relations, she participated in the group's affairs.
Rada possessed an incredible amount of positive energy and knew how to "infect" everyone around her in a good way. She was one of the most cheerful, cheerful and sympathetic people we knew.
All this happened so unexpectedly, for us it is a terrible blow and an irreparable loss. We still cannot believe that this actually happened.
After leaving the group, Rada was engaged in cinema. She was one of the creators of the film "Dancing in the Desert", - she acted as a producer from the Russian side. Also in the process of creating other international film projects in which she took an active part, including a feature film about a disappearing panda - with the participation of world stars. There was so much more I was going to do and did ...
Remember. We love. We grieve ... Radka, you will always be among us. And we are always with you ... ".
The fact that Rada maintained close relations with the group is most likely just big words. A year ago, the fans of the band tried to find out where Zmikhnovskaya disappeared, persistently asked the BandEros musicians about it, and in response - silence.
Fans usually know everything about their idols. We threw out a cry in social networks, how to find Rada, where she lives, what she does, but we never received an answer, ”says one of the fans of the group. - We understood that the guys from the group did not communicate much with her. In any case, they were not in constant contact for sure. A few years ago, the Rada disappeared altogether. We thought maybe what happened? Nothing has been heard from her since 2015. She has always been closed to fans. I remember once we tried to find out something about her family - it didn’t work out. Even her age was not calculated. Now someone says that she was 40, but there is no certainty. There is no information anywhere about the year she was born. They say that the ex-soloist hid her age even from close friends. According to rumors, she repeatedly turned to plastic surgeons to preserve her youth. Maybe this was the reason for such a quick departure?
We contacted the press secretary of the group Evgenia Nagapetyan.
To be honest, I was not familiar with Rada, - the interlocutor began the conversation. - She left the group a long time ago, more than 10 years ago. Did the guys talk to her? Don't know. In any case, I have never even seen her.
- Did you immediately learn about the tragedy?
Yes, we found out almost immediately. But we still don't know the details. As soon as information becomes available, we will post it on social media.
- Did Rada have a stroke?
Yes. I can't give a reason either. It can happen suddenly to anyone. Even children have strokes.
- Didn't foretell anything?
It didn't seem to mean anything. They say that she did not complain about her health. Went to California to visit a friend for a short break. I felt great.
- How old was she?
I don't know this either
- Did the musicians express condolences to her family?
The guys are on tour right now. They are experiencing this tragedy. I can't say yet whether they contacted someone or not.
- Most likely, the musicians did not communicate closely with Zmikhnovskaya in the past?
That's right, we didn't talk. There was no friendship there.
- Rada lived in Moscow?
I know that she lived in Moscow. She was a film producer. I have nothing more to add.
The most interesting thing for a day at MK is in one evening mailing list: subscribe to our channel at.
In California, during a visit to a friend, a former member of the Band'Eros group, Rada Zmikhnovskaya, suddenly died. A message about this appeared on the group's Instagram.
"Friends! This morning, our former soloist Rada passed away. She was one of the founders of the group (together with our Natalya and music producer A. Dulov.) Rada spent several days between heaven and earth, being in a coma. We all held our fists for her, but, unfortunately, the doctors were powerless, ”the message says.
According to representatives of the group, despite the fact that Rada left the group at the beginning of 2008, friendly relations remained between them. Zmikhnovskaya continued to take part in the affairs of the group.
The singer had a seizure and was hospitalized. At the clinic, doctors fought for her life. But she fell into a coma and after a few days, on September 14, she died.
The press service of the BandEros group reported that the official cause of death of Rada Zmikhnovskaya was a hemorrhagic stroke.
Former member of the Band'Eros team, Rada Zmikhnovskaya, could have died of a stroke due to legal problems with her husband, Alexander Zmikhnovsky. Little is known about the person with whom Rodica Kryshmaru connected her life: the couple met at the Higher Komsomol School, Alexander started dubious and dangerous projects all his life, the latter could end in prison for him. The Rada supported the faithful in every possible way and was very worried about him.
In 2007, Rodika left the Band'Eros team, allegedly due to pregnancy, but in fact she went into directing and her husband's enterprises. Already in 1997, the authorities became interested in Zmikhnovsky's fish trading company, but in those years it was easy to avoid criminal liability, which Alexander did. The peak of his success was the Oboronenergosbyt company, but it was she who brought Rodika Zmikhnovskaya to a stroke.
The full name of Rada Zmikhnovskaya is Rodika Zmikhnovskaya. The girl was from the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi. Rada was not only a talented, but also a smart girl, she spoke French, Ossetian and Spanish. Rada studied and graduated with honors from the Higher Komsomol School, where she entered on a permit from one of the district committees of the Komsomol in the Chernivtsi region.
It was in this educational institution that the Banderos group was organized, where Rada first participated with another soloist, Natalya. The group reached the peak of popularity in 2006, which brought her a video for the song "Columbia Pictures does not represent." It was this song that brought recognition to the group that was performed by Rada.
Rada Zmikhnovskaya died, causes of death: Rada left the Banderos group 10 years ago
Rada left the Banderos group in 2007, when she was still a student. The official reason for Rada's departure from the group was her pregnancy, then the girl just got married.
Rada's husband was Alexander Zmikhnovsky, whom the girl actively promoted in her career. Rada and Alexander opened their own business, but their prosperity did not last long - law enforcement agencies soon became interested in them. Rada and Alexander had to close their company, and the girl headed the Investment Company IVA Invest owned by her husband.
The last years of her life, Rada was engaged in producing. She acted as a producer of the film "Dancing in the Desert", which was released in 2014. The peak of her husband's success in his career was the position of General Director of Oboronenergosbyt, but here, too, Alexander was unsuccessful. He was again prosecuted by law enforcement agencies and arrested in absentia on charges of fraud on an especially large scale.
The funeral of the ex-soloist of the Banderos group Rada Zmikhnovskaya, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage, was held at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow on September 25, 2017. Relatives and friends fundamentally did not want to turn this event into a public event, so only relatives and friends were present at the funeral.
As InterMedia was told in the press service of the Banderos group, a difficult day for all those close to the Rada began with the funeral service for the deceased. Colleagues in the Banderos group saw off the singer on her last journey in full force. Natalya Ibadin, who has worked with the Rada for many years, still cannot believe what happened.
There was so much positive energy in her that it seemed that nothing could stop her. And all of a sudden, all this ... The Rada never put an end to it. She was in such a hurry to live - maybe she was just afraid not to be in time, - says Natalia.
According to relatives, there were no signs of trouble.
- We all feel confusion and bewilderment ... Rada was full of life and strength. In general, she was an incredibly energetic and cheerful person .. Everything was interesting to her, she always had a lot of ideas and plans for life - and this life ended so suddenly, - they lament.
According to Russian media, the ex-member of the Band'Eros group, Rada Zmikhnovskaya, died suddenly. According to some reports, close stars confirmed this sad news. One of the causes of death of the woman was called a cerebral hemorrhage. Zmikhnovskaya passed away in one of the US clinics. StarHit found out the details from the representatives of the group.
“Rada went to visit a friend in California. She died of a cerebral hemorrhage. We assume that this happened due to recent solar flares, ”StarHit was told in the press service of the popular team.
A friend of Rada Zmikhnovskaya, Rafa Franko, dedicated a post to her on her page on one of the social networks. The woman said goodbye to a close friend and noted that she would miss her.
Former colleagues of Rada Zmikhnovskaya published an appeal to the public, in which they stated that she "will always be among them." Despite the fact that the woman left the team, she maintained friendly relations with the members of Band'Eros. They prayed for Rada when she was admitted to the hospital. “She was for several days between heaven and earth, in a coma. We all held our fists for her, but, unfortunately, the doctors were powerless, ”the artists shared. According to them, Zmikhnovskaya was a wonderful person who did not have time to implement much of her plans.
“The Rada possessed an incredible amount of positive energy and knew how to “infect” everyone around with it in a good way. She was one of the most lively, cheerful and helpful people we knew. All this happened so unexpectedly, for us it is a terrible blow and an irreparable loss. We still cannot believe that this actually happened. (...) There was still so much I was going to do and did ... We remember. We love. We grieve ... Radka, you will always be among us. And we are always with you ... ”- shared the members of the popular group on Instagram.
A member of the Band'Eros group, Tatyana Milovidova, who took the place of Rada Zmikhnovskaya, also shared her memories of a former member of the team.
“I remember our conversations, secrets and plans, I can’t believe it ... Beautiful, bright, vulnerable, tender, powerful, incredible! R.I.P,” the artist wrote in one of the social networks.
Natalya Ibadin, another soloist of the pop group, is also experiencing a heavy loss. “Radiant, sonorous, cosmic... We will miss you. Rest in peace to you ... ”- with these words the woman said goodbye to her friend.
Zmikhnovskaya left the Eros Band group in 2007. Then it was reported that her pregnancy was the reason for leaving the group. According to a number of resources, Rodika Zmikhnovskaya later became the executive producer of the film Dancing in the Desert, which was filmed in 2014.
It is known that Rada studied at the Moscow Humanitarian University. Then she married fellow student Alexander Zmikhnovsky. The woman sang well and was also fluent in French, Spanish and Ossetian.
The band "Eros" was remembered by Russian listeners for the songs "Columbia Pictures does not represent" and "Do not promise".
