Ended with a unique open-air folk-rock festival "Empty Hills 2005." In picturesque surroundings Tarusa (120 km from Moscow) presented Glad Umka, "Va-Ta-Ga", "Pakava It," "Troitsa", "nagual" etc. Two scenes, powerful sound, high-quality light and fresh air. Today we tell about the events of the first day of the festival. The festival is for "people with backpacks." The above artists would have done credit to a festival in the city of Moscow, but the show at the bend of the river Tarusa the picturesque glades is not comparable to anything else. First, of course, for the audience. You can hear the famous musician, and you can walk through the forest, swim in the shallow stream, or burn a fire in his tent. It is impossible to tell about all the bands at the festival, because the concerts were simultaneously on two stages, is not very close. Give us the best of what they saw and heard. Note the most exciting young team that has a chance to play, too friendly to a large audience. "Full Cup" - Rostov band plays romantic art-rock with a slight blend of jazz and funk. Struck produce primarily the ability to high-quality sound. Songs about grief and freedom sound completely different genres, and at first it seems to be a disadvantage. But then everything falls into place. Nice quality rock. "Nagual" more than in narrow circles of fans of psychedelic folk music known. On "Empty Hills" traded collecting membership from different groups, led by Leonid Pavlenko. The irony in his voice adds frontman and improvisation in a group of musicians. And as a result - dance! Sometimes Pavlenok simply takes compering: "And now at the request of the audience we play reggae," and I played reggae. And then the blues, and something else. Someone blows soap balls, and they fly over the heads of clusters of dancers. Sergey Kalugin osmotivaet carefully present and was pleased with what he saw. Having played some of his famous ballads and decided to sing a new song. A little hard rock "Righteous orgies" shook the audience. And again - dancing. Tamara Kozhekina Boogie Chillen sang with American roots blues. An amateur. Barefoot in the grass a few girls staged a dance. Due to some technical difficulties, reverse osmosis, and "armored car" had a number of songs to sing. That was perhaps a pity for the obvious headliner of the first day of the festival. But Anna Gerasimova filed and not spirit. They even remembered because of what not to speak at last year's festival: "I was then on tour in Nizhny Novgorod!" And then by recognizing Umki followed: "How nice, this whole area of people to see everything in order!" If sailed over field magical sounds of the ballad "Fuck station", also froze local restless natives dispelled. But the highlight was of course the performance of the title song of the new album Umki called "600". Energetic songs politicized and very bitter. Accompanied Umku a long standing ovation. I must say that. Umka very natural effect on the open stage We are still in use, to see it in the clubs. Their music combines wonderfully with wildlife. As Anne jumped on the first stump up took knows where the connected electric guitar and sang for friends. It is worthwhile to take a break, say the kindest words of the organizers of the festival. Mysteriously, as it has been in the corner of the Kaluga region in order to build the scene to work on the sound and light, the generator for this, to negotiate with the local authorities and the police, organize volunteers to a bridge over to bring the river to build, manage, and more. While maintaining a very nice and friendly atmosphere (so different from the "invasion"). Harley and the whole team, "Hollow Hills 2005", you work smart. By nightfall, some torches. Large clearing pierced purple spotlight. Oksana Kochubei and Life-n-Joy - so now the name of the project is an energetic, well known to many of the fireworks competition 2004 gbob. Oksana wanted to shine the audience, and she succeeded. Corporate husky vocals, corporate heavy blues, greatest hits of American rhythm and blues. What else to say? We can only wait until Oksana singing their songs and even a Russian. "Kimbata" - incendiary African rumba. Easy to confuse with the Brazilian or Cuban, but two native Congo in uniform that they play. Have fun and a good excuse to dance. Than the rest, and people took to their feet. In addition, before the scene was a real fire show. The combination of light flying in the air and African music led to a picture from a magazine about African victims. But the smell of grass and the descending night still true rumba and salsa. At night, colored lights illuminated the camp, heard the African drums. The first day of the Festival "Empty Hills" ended.
