Each genre of music has its own performers and, accordingly, its fans. So, a rather large audience of spectators is gathered by chanson singers. Many people mistakenly believe that this genre is the prerogative of people who visited places not so distant. This is completely wrong. France is considered to be the birthplace of chanson. And her performers are world-famous Edith Piaf, Mireille Mathieu, Joe Dassin and others. In Russia, this musical direction turned in the opposite direction - it is diametrically opposed to the French counterpart. However, they are united by one thing: both European and Russian chanson were developed by people, most of whom had never been in prison.
Popular chansonnier
One of the most popular representatives of this musical direction is Andrey Bandera. The biography of many chansonniers has common features. So, many of them came to music far from a young age. Their vocation was sometimes found in the most inappropriate places for creativity. For example, in underground mines. That is how Andrei Bandera came to the music show business. The biography of this artist for a long time was a description of standard events in the life of an average Russian person. And now he is known throughout the country.
The work of this artist is popular, understandable, but at the same time does not constitute an example of primitive prison subjects. As the singer himself notes: “Why sing about what you know only by hearsay?”
On the modern stage, Andrei Bandera appeared relatively recently. His name became popular after a successful radio broadcast of the song "Ivushki". It was the year 2004. And before that there was a long journey of several decades.
Gifts of the Gypsies
On April 25, 1971, Andrei Bandera was born in the Perm region, in the city of Kizel. His biography has preserved on its pages the real name of the singer - Eduard Izmestiev. The future popular performer was born in a family of hereditary Cossacks. The formation of his personality was greatly influenced by a gypsy camp, which was located in a village adjacent to the city. It was there that they instilled in the boy a love of music and taught him to sing deeply and resonantly, with anguish, putting a piece of soul into each note.
Probably, along with creative talents, Andrei was transferred from gypsies to craving for wanderings. As a teenager, he often hitchhiked. However, he still had dreams of connecting his future with music.
Music miner
A mining college was located in his hometown, where Andrei Bandera entered in 1985 after graduating from the eight-year plan. The biography of the next two years of his life is filled with events from the "underground" world: mines, jackhammer sounds , dust and heavy, wear and tear, work. It was there, under the strata of the earth's crust, that the idea of becoming a singer was born.
In 1987, Andrei Bandera organized the Atlantis music band. Together with the group, she performs at various venues and participates in competitions. The team released eleven albums.
Then the decision comes to conquer Moscow. And in 1999, a new stage of life began, which can be described as "the path to the glory of Andrei Bandera's chansonnier." He acted as an arranger with the popular singer Dima Bilan. Then - at Vitas.
Recognition and love of the public
And in 2004, thanks to the Chanson radio, Russia wholeheartedly fell in love with a new music artist. They became the singer Andrei Bandera. The biography of the chansonnier has replenished with new pages: the solo career of the sought-after and beloved artist begins. Since 2007, three albums of the talented singer saw the light of the day, he is invited to shoot music programs and anniversary concerts of famous artists.
Andrei Bandera is always sensitive to the opinions of his fans. They are also the first critics for him.
A bewitching voice, melodic songs, brilliant charisma and the absence of “profitability” are artist Andrei Bandera. Biography, family, wife? The performer is not openly ready to share any information. His personal life is his personal secret. It is only known that the singer is married.
