Lyube

A festive concert by the truly beloved folk band "Lyube." An event not to be missed.

The band was founded in 1989 by I. Matvienko and N. Rastorguev. The idea for the band came from composer Igor Matvienko, and it was Nikolai Rastorguev who came up with the idea for their unusual name (a slang word from Nikolai's childhood meaning "different," "any," etc.). The genre in which "Lyube" exists is difficult to define, although it could easily be called "folk rock."

An asocial and patriotic focus has been evident throughout their entire creative career. A distinctive feature of "Lyube" is their incredible number of hits—songs that have become truly popular: "Atas," "Don't Play the Fool," "Amerika," "Kon'," "Tam Za Tumanami," "Beryozy," "Pozovi Me Tikho Po Nam," "Kombat," "Davay Za," and many, many others—songs that have stood the test of time and are still popular today! Over 35 years, the group "Lyube" has performed an incredible number of concerts. Their live performances have been seen by millions of viewers in Russia and abroad over the years, and have always been sold out! It's worth noting that the group instantly gained popularity from its first appearance.

The songs, written by Igor Matvienko and poets Alexander Shaganov and Mikhail Andreev, almost all became hits; Nikolai Rastorguev's inimitable timbre; the recognizable, distinctive style of arrangements; the unique overall sound of the group; The presence of choirs in many works, which only emphasize the originality of "Lube" - all this, perhaps, explains the incredible success, popularity and love of the audience for many years?!
