Inga Ruff Biography


This is perhaps one of the few cultural artifacts of the X era in Kazakh music. I suggest using witnesses of that time to plunge in a decade.

Inga Ruff Biography

These were the achievements of a level unheard of that time for Kazakhstan. Parviz Nazarov in Alma-Ata herself also had someone to listen to. And at the end of X, a JCS group appeared on the stage with a stunningly talented vocalist Daniyar Makashev, which was at first famous for the cover in the jazz club, which was on the then ul. Mira in Almaty. Inga Ruff is now-Inna Afonina, the creative director of the Moscow event agency, one of the two vocalists of the project, says:-I didn’t understand who, I lived separately in the musical party of Kazakhstan.

An upstart, I was more oriented towards the DJ community. I have a new young husband now. For a long time, so he laughs an elderly and jokes, as well as more than 20 years ago. The fact that nuggets from Kazakhstan continue to delight the world today. And the country's productivity did not end with us. There are talented people in the Kazakh steppes and villages that surprise the world with their cool works and in m.

So the player with music is still on a pause. They began to throw everything that came to the arm at him, and demanded us back on the stage. Then fights began ... And when that evening we went to our hotel, we did not have time to go through a hundred meters, as a crowd of drunken gopniks attacked us. They broke my head in two places. Woke up in a police groove.

In general, I would not survive, if it were not for one Karaganda guy who, it turns out, carried me on himself while I was disconnected, and I don’t even remember him. Such are e, rum. Gulya Tulegenova - all the equipment of my utility room was barely drawn to the worst processor from the Hamburg studio, where the stars of the rock loved to be written, and at that time Dernovsky and Ko were dancing, as if hinting at what the musical market of Kazakhstan breathed, - Sergey said.

Very good years were in terms of music. Oh, radio! In those years, the only sources of local music for people were a couple of programs on TV and radio. Is it necessary to remind you that this was a rather strong statement, since the competition was non-well-haired, the West, which poured into our region with its high-quality wave after the fall of the iron curtain, pressed first of all.

Yes, and the Russian pop-rock music advanced to Kazakhstani artists, not on heels, rather on throats. All Kazakhstani song premieres happened there. Much then was for me for the first time. For musicians, too: for the first time they went on stage, for the first time they gave an interview. And then the music was like the first love-simple, understandable, in some ways naive, but bright and coming from the heart.

Because there were still no canons, templates, ”Takhmina believes. There are many new names, studios, music channels, and today our artists are developing, it seems, in two parallel universes. Some according to the old scheme: rotation on channels and radio stations, others on social networks, this is a new generation, they have their own rules of the game, and they seem to be knocked forward.

There was a real opportunity to enter the world market. Two years ago, we finished working under a contract with an American label. The Kazakh singer Moldanazar explained why he does not feel part of our stage, we were not spoiled by the father and participant in some of the musical projects already mentioned here was the violinist Adil Zhambakiev. He wrote a lot of songs, arrangements.

Due to the low development of digital carriers, to appear under the phonogram was harder than playing live. We often performed with commercial concerts at stadiums, in the palaces of sports and culture. The audience was nonsense, very warmly met in any city, village, aul. And we were not spoiled by fees. Infrequently, but we see each other. Alas, some have already left this world, and, unfortunately, these are the best of the best.

I noticed that in recent years, many of the artists of X decide to go on stage again. We add a new album. The Internet affected the course of history, of course, the Internet. Zhambakiev really has something to compare with, but the journalist Madi Mambetov in E was still a child and listened to the music mostly not Kazakhstan. It was a time of small opportunities, but great creative freedom.

And it was great. Plywood, of course, but there was such an informational hunger that everything was glad. My hometown is still the musical capital and creative cuisine of the country. And the youth shared by who went where. The living groups performed then no one called them caver-bands. They performed famous hits, blues, rock and rolls. I liked the compactness of the club, its party.

And the presentation of our first magneto -album took place there. An interesting time - many concerts, performances, television projects. We often visited them on the air and then played on the air for the first time, on a TV tale on Coco-Tyube it was. If there were a dozen names that everyone knew, then at least they were very different from each other.Maybe I grumble in an old man, but it seems to me that today the amount does not go into quality.

Technologically, it grew in comparison with mi, but ... more daring clips, installation, the image of musicians ... At that time there were no social networks and the Internet was not developed. Nowadays, there was a printed press, radio and TV. Now everyone is a PR man and a journalist for his own, what you have laid out - you are. Even a separate layer of insta-selbritis appeared.

It is not known what they create and what will remain after them, but their accounts are very popular - thousands of subscribers. Then, in order to attract the attention of journalists and the public, you had to at least be able to do something. Now it is enough to process your selfies. Today's projects cause a musician with a classic education only one question: why, when there is exactly the same in other countries, and rather, even of even better quality?

And to highlight someone, really western in the heart, today, in his opinion, is simply impossible. Nothing appeared to replace the latter. Continuation in the next issue.
