Olexa Kabanov is a versatile Kyiv musician, in his hands, age-old European, and oriental, and African instruments sound identically organic. Strings, spirits, percussion – it seems that there is nothing what he would not manage to play. And at that – professionally, qualitatively, intensely. Actually, we have already had more than one chance to make sure of his mastery. Olexa Kabanov took part in such projects as Er.J.Orchestra, YO'Gurt Group, Gaydamaky, Mandry, Nadobryden, he co-operated with Oleh Skrypka, Maria Burmaka – the list grows longer every year. Somewhere he plays joint concerts, somewhere – he is also involved in recording discs. In any case, his playing certainly adds deep, important colors to the music that he gives a hand to create. In parallel he, naturally, is engaged in solo creativity – and the disc "Wind from the East" is one of displays of this simultaneous motion inward and beyond. It seems that every musician who follows the way of self-perfection early or late faces the music culture of the East – and gets penetrated with it. In the end, it is difficult to stay indifferent to this beauty. Thus, the only thing left is to let it in, let it through and – let it go. Evidently, Olexa succeeded in it – you will hear that yourself. Not the least role here is played by the fact that in his arsenal there are quite a lot of exotic instruments, and Olexa Kabanov searches for new approaches to playing them, he interlaces the East and the West in his plays. Well, and to what extent he succeeds – listen.

Marinita is, in fact, Maryna Zakharova, who was the heart of the very original project Anno Domini. So, Marinita is a certain development to the story, testing herself in a new, even more open format: with the opportunity to collaborate without any special linking to a certain composition. The debut album under the new name...

...the album at once creates elated, festive mood – but in a surprising way. In the correct way. Because, although about a half of the compositions can hardly be called merry ones – a smile is very expressly felt in them. Somewhere dim, somewhere transparent, somewhere dreamy, somewhere thoughtful – but it is present in each piece, and it warms.

Far not every musician is able to breathe in real life into age-old instruments, to let them sound brightly, deeply – not with glass strasses, but with jewels. Olexa Kabanov, no doubt, is. In his performance traditional melodies sound as if they did not have hundreds of years behind their back – to that extent they are live, close, and warm.

In the world, certainly, there are quite a lot of people who play Celtic music – and even more say that they play it. But not everyone is able, having taken a correct basis, to correctly invest his or her own breathing into it – so that the harmony really came to life. Rune – you will hear that yourself – taught their music not simply breathing...

The name of a disc speaks for itself. Here are hopak, sirtaki, lezginka, hava-nagila. Executed on a synthesiser, these melodies are intended rather not for domestic listening, but for use at lessons of dances, or in the dramatised performances or concerts at school or kindergarten.

Творчістю Олексія Кабанова захопилася завдяки диску "Долина муз", який вразив мене наздвичайно проникливими етно-мелодіями, які були витримані у дуже близькій за змістом музичній стилістиці давногрецьких гимнів та піснеспівів. Та попри це було ще й дуже приємно, що для їх виконання Олексій використовував класичний та народний український інструментарій - це тішить не лише вухо, а й власну гідність.
Щодо платівки "Вітер зі сходу", то тут хочу сказати, що відчувається першеспроба власних музичних пошуків у композиційному оформленні та музичному, але всеодно, слухати диск приємно, хоча деколи не вистачає певної ідейної завершеності.
Знову ж великий комлімент інстрарію - використання таких цікавих та незвичних інстурментів, як індійський ситар, дудак, саринда тощо надають композиціям невичерпного еклектичного забарвлення та неймовірно загадкової екзотики.
Та мушу визнати, що "Долина муз" мені сподобалася більше.
Умпіхів Вам та натхнення Олексіє!

Добрый день, Наталия! Позвольте не согласиться: Алексей Кабанов достаточно активно играл с Ярмолой еще в пору Актуса. А позже, когда Актус переродился и стал называться Гайдамаки - принимал некоторое участие и в записи первого альбома с одноименным названием. На этот счет можете быть уверены - я у Алексея уточнил. Относительно Сергея Охримчука - Вы, видимо, правы. Исправлено.

Кабанов не играл с Гайдамаками, сведения неверны. Равно как не играл с ними и Сергей Охримчук (информация о СД "Долина муз").
