Rock of the Ukrainian spirit Audio Version Entry: 60-80th. Rock in Ukraine
Such rapid onset rock epic ended abruptly. "Prague Spring" of 1968, or "spring of freedom" in the Czech Republic was crushed by Soviet tanks. These tragic events have had quite a sad echo in the USSR. KGB department, which grow like mushrooms after the rain started undeclared war against dissent. The _focus of the all-seeing eye was the KGB and rock music. Whole system of restrictions and prohibitions should negate free creativity anyone uncontrolled groups. In fact, rock music was banned. But cultured Soviet pop song and adapted folklore. However, this does not mean that the "rock'n'roll is dead". The atmosphere of underground concerts further fuels the interest in this music, and total stagnation 70 breathed life into the highly original underground - literary, poetic, artistic. Speaking of the 70's - these were the years of developed socialism and vocal and instrumental ensembles. Each band was assigned to a regional philharmonic society, had his own artistic and administrative leaders and performed songs approved by the higher authorities. Most of the repertoire consists of works by members of the Union of Composers. Their works to allow musicians to perform only after their alleged artistic tips that were party officials and members of the most creative unions. Fierce opposition and partisans of rock 'n' roll moved into genres that were out of reach of Soviet censorship - that is played then popular jazz-rock, art rock, or music that is not included verbal series. Bright trace left behind KROK, REPORTAJ, OREOL, CREDO, CROSSWORD and more.
But the lack of music industry and at least a minimal show-Corporate Business infrastructure continuously inhibit impulses pure musicians deal exclusively with the music, make them "run" in parallel activities. They "bit by bit" collect studio equipment rivet themselves to organize concerts and are engaged in the publication of their own albums. Unlike pop music, commercialization, as such, hardly touched the rock music - no one here has earned a lot of money, no one has made a career ... Quite the contrary. Therefore it is no arrogance on our part to consider the rock as pure art talent, with warm hearts, people. Many interesting and bright rooms, of which we will discuss below, derived from the capital. But Kyiv - not the whole Ukraine. West, East and South also created stars and stars that left its mark on the history of the genre. I hope the journey sometimes rock and roll fame will really groovy. Our first stop - the city of Kharkiv. Olexander Evtushenko
