By Laman Sadigova
A soloist of Agatha Christie, one of the most cult and popular rock bands in Russian music, will perform in Baku.
The concert of Vadim Samoilov will take place at the Kempinski Badamdar Hotel in Baku on April 3.
The audience will enjoy the most popular songs of the legendary band such as Like on the war, Fairy Taiga, Carpet-helicopter and many others.
Most recently Moscow and St. Petersburg welcomed “nostalgic” concerts of the group. The band created its unique style incorporating post-punk/new wave music with decadent poetry in their lyrics and made a great contribution to Russian rock. They achieved the Grand-Prix at festival of young European groups “Open du Rock” (France, 1991), premium “World Music Awards” as the most popular Russian music band (Monte-Carlo, 1997), four national premiums “Овация (Ovation)”, in 2000 it was voted the best Russian group of the 90s.
The founders of the band - Vadim Samoylov , Aleksandr Kozlov and Petr Mai — were schoolmates, they played together in a school band. In 1985 they (together with Vadim’s younger brother Gleb Samoylov) created a music band named “ВИА РТФ УПИ” (which literally stands for: vocal-instrumental ensemble of Radioengineering faculty of Ural Polytechnical Institute).
The musicians plan to visit not only fans from Azerbaijan, but also from neighboring countries, including Georgia, Kazakhstan and Turkey.
