Alla Kudlay. Druzjam. (To Friends)

Looking at a photo or video by Alla Kudlay, you would never say that she has been singing for approximately 30 years already – and this is only if we take into consideration professional performances. By the way, do you know that in its time Alla Kudlay's professional career started not just anywhere but – at the State Academic Ukrainian Folk Choir named G.Veryovka! However, during the time that has passed since then a lot of things have changed cardinally – and, in particular, the singer's style. However, if there is a serious school in a person's biography, it is always noticeable, no matter how much time has passed. Therefore, no wonder that in Alla Kudlay's manner of singing it is still possible to hear some notes and techniques characteristic of folklore material performers. Although, in the end, virtually all Ukrainian variety art of the "classic", so to say, standard stands with both of its feet on the folklore basis, that is obvious. Exactly this, presumably, led to that stunning success that was a matter of course for variety art performers in the 1960-80s. Briefly, it is nice to hear that the voice of Alla Kudlay has not lost its expressiveness and brightness, which once gained for her such a large army of fans of various age groups.
