Once two friends met, two musicians - Slava Shalygin and Sasha Yezhov. Met, talked and decided to found their own group. Assuming that she would not be “ordered" to live for long, they gave the corresponding name. So, “A-minor” is a group that we ask to love and favor!
Unpredictable fate decreed quite differently: “A-Minorites” still live and live. And since the guys didn’t have any experience, they could enjoy their performances at concerts with the participation of such famous groups as Leningrad, Swing, Navigators. "A-minor" - a group in which they immediately decided on the genre. Musicians began to actively conquer the charts of the radio "Chanson". And the albums of the A-minor group with enviable regularity delight fans with new compositions.
Birth of A-minor: about the founding fathers
The founders of the team have a different education: the adventurer Slava, for example, did without special training. Being at different times both a fashion designer, and a locksmith, and a museum worker, having made a wide circle of acquaintances, sociable and open, he decided to say “Stop!” and devote yourself to music. Despite the only vocal lesson in her life, she is the author of many songs and arrangements.
Bayan player Sasha, the second founder of the group, received a serious education at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and played in folk ensembles. On his track record is the title of laureate of various professional contests and 1st place among international accordion players. It was his merit that the world recognized: "A-minor" - a group with a major tinge.
A collection has been announced - everything in A minor!
Friendly and calm saxophonist Yegor Komarov in this shaky team “for the elder”. Later than others, having joined the team, he immediately set to work on arrangements. Prior to La Minor, Yegor performed in many city squads and clubs. Behind him, by the way, is a school for them. Mussorgsky.
Guitarist Sergei Pavlov is also a graduate of this educational institution, a teacher of playing his adored guitar.
Drummer Ketlik (Petya Ketlinsky) was seen in many rock groups before meeting with “A-Minor”, the last time he “flew” with St. Petersburg's “Swing”.
Double bassist Max Temnov also has a special role in the life of the group. Being also a member of the famous “Leningrad”, Max loves the scene and it is on it that he allows himself to be liberated and “come off”. You listen and observe his stylish manner of playing with twists with great pleasure.
In a word, A-minor is a group like-minded people with a glorious past and a promising future.
The performances of A-minor are always “tasty and stylish”
A-minor does not claim to be involved in the world of rock, although most of its members were associated with it at one time. In the world of modern music, the band attracts attention with its atypical repertoire. After all, the group decided to realize the idea of “re-singing” all Arkady Severny, the beloved performer of Glory.
This choice helped the guys to become popular both in Russia and in Germany, France, Spain, and Finland. The A-minor group, whose concerts in the West are received with a bang, perform at various venues in the homeland and perform songs from the repertoire of the chanson classics.
The program of performances of “A-Minor” includes the most famous songs by Dmitrievich, Severny, Berenson - “Murka”, “Girl in a dress from chintz”, “Wait, the engine”. All of them are filled with drive guys and served the audience with "elegant chic."
