Overview ↓ User Reviews ↓ Credits ↓ Releases ↓ Similar Albums ↓ facebook twitter tumblr. AllMusic Review by Dmitriy Tselikov. Although Boris Grebenshikov and members of Aquarium did a lot to beef up Kino's debut, it would all be to no avail without Viktor Tsoi's delicate taste and naughtiness. He based his lyrics and music on city folklore, but avoided vulgarity and roughness. 45 had much in common with early Soviet bard music by romanticizing everything in sight from an urban perspective -- but it's not about crime or rubbish. Tsoi's hero is not just an idler; his soul is full of affecting poetry ("Tree") and merry irony ("My Friends") regarding his and his friends' way of life. Vocals range from deliberately rude intonations sarcastically imitating a "cool" manner of speech on the city streets to touching open-hearted confessions. However, the musical foundation is very simple, with acoustic guitars (Boris Grebenshikov and Alexei Rybin), flute (Andrei Romanov and Andrei Tropillo), and cello (Vsevolod Gakkel) creating a variety of lively, vivid, and bright -- if unsophisticated -- pictures. 45 demonstrates that Tsoi and Grebenshikov are skillful melodists. Aquarium brought to the recording all their fertile Akustika experience to make 45 fresh and beautiful in its ingenuity. Sometimes the tunes and beats are rather primitive, seemingly referring to the Merseybeat era, and while one could regard this as a flaw, one might also consider the musical approach as an effective way to deliver the feeling of an early morning headache experienced in a stinking filthy train station, or the despair felt by an impecunious lad. One listener might argue that the arrangements are too naïve and rude, while another might feel that the crudity here reproduces the aura of the early-'80s underground rock movement. Regardless, 45 -- along with Aquarium's Sinii Albom and Akustika -- signified a turning point in Russian rock toward much more independence, with imaginative music and mature lyrics.

Some time ago a new media device called Kihno album showed up on a various KPop stores websites. You could get it as an alternative to a standard editions of the albums of your favourite artists. Some are calling it an unnecessary novelty, a gadget, the others a revolutionary piece of technology. Anyway it can be an interesting addition to your KPop collection. But what exactly is a Kihno album ? It is an audio (not only, but more about it later) device. You can compare it to an old school cassette tape or an LP record. But of course it's not an analog but a digital audio format (if we can call it like that). But don't be mistaken. It doesn't contain any data (at least any audio data). It just gives you the access to the digital version of the album through a special application. The audio content has to be downloaded by the app through your Internet connection. The standard Kihno album comes in a package with a sleeve, a Kihno kit (the device itself) and a set of usually 12 photo cards. Its of a size of a playing cards deck. A manual sheet with the most important information is also added. An interesting fact is that the kit has a build in CR2032 battery that is required to let it work properly. This battery can be even replaced. How To Use Kihno Kit. To use it you have to download the Kihno Player app from App Store or Google Play . Then you have to open it and connect your Kihno album to your smartphone via 3.5 mm mini jack headphone connector. You can use an adapter if your smarthpone is not equipped with a mini jack. The app should automatically recognize the album and start downloading it. When it's done a short tutorial will show up to help you understand all the functionality the application provides. The player is visualized as a vinyl record turntable. Different skins are available. On the right side you will see a tracklist and on the left there's a window where you can look through a digital booklet with the photos of a particular KPop group or soloist. Sometimes the lyrics of a currently played track written in Korean are displayed. The older Kihno albums came with a card instead of a kit and needed NFC ( Near Field Communication ) method to wirelessly connect to your smartphone. The Kihno brand is currently affiliated with the entertainment companies such as SM Entertainment , Dream T Entertainment , DSP Media , MBK Entertainment , Jellyfish Entertainment , KT Music , Loen , CJ E&M , JYP Entertainment , Hanteo , Gaon and Universal . The Complete List Of Albums Released In Kihno Format. Here is the complete list of albums released in Kihno format: Taemin - Want (2 versions) Seventeen - You Made My Dawn (3 versions) IZ*ONE - Color*iz (2 versions) Verivery - Veri-Us - Wake'N (3 versions) Gugudan - Act 5 New Action Moonbyul - Selfish - From.9 - Sunny Summer GFriend - Time For The Moon Night Girls' Generation Oh!GG - Lil' Touch Wanna One - Power of Destiny Red Velvet - The Perfect Red Velvet GFriend - Lol Vixx: Leo - Canvas Seventeen - You Make My Day Gugudan Semina - Semina Super Junior - Replay VIXX - Eau De VIXX (2 versions) Astro - 2018 Special Single Album - Lucky Seventeen - Director's Cut Gugudan - Cait Sith GFriend - Rainbow Gugudan - Chococo Factory VIXX LR - Whisper KNK - Gravity VIXX - 桃源境 (2 versions) - Immense GFriend - Snowflake GFriend - The Awakening GFriend - Flowerbud GFriend - Season of Glass Ahn Ye Eun - 일일 같은생각 EXO - The War: The Power of Music EXO - For Life EXO - Love Me Right SHINee: Taemin - Press It SHINee: Taemin - Ace Red Velvet - The red Summer NCT Dream - The First EXO - Lotto NCT 127 - Limitless Red Velvet - Rookie F(x) - 4 Walls SHINee - Married to the Music Girls' Generation - Lionheart Super Junior - Magic TVXQ - Rise as God (2 versions) What is Kihno Video. As I mentioned before there's another type of a data that can be used with the device. The Kihno Video was created for the convenient access to a digital video content. For example some KPop concerts were released in the format: Monsta X - 2018 Monsta X World Tour The Connect , Wanna One - World Tour One: The World In Seoul , Taemin - 1st Solo Concert "Off-Sick" and Red Velvet - Red Room . The owners of the Kihno Video can get an access to a 360p-1080p quality of content. Some of the packages contains a special collectibles like key ring and accordion photobook in a Monsta X concert. In many cases a special pouch for the kit is provided. Download kino albums. Add to Custom List. Add to My Collection. AllMusic Rating. Overview ↓ User Reviews ↓ Credits ↓ Releases ↓ Similar Albums ↓ facebook twitter tumblr. AllMusic Review by Neil Davidson. It's difficult to describe Kino's second offering as a proper album as such. As the name 46 suggests, this is just some unfinished business left over from the band's debut, 45. Having assembled a makeshift lineup to record his first album, songwriter Viktor Tsoy gamely carried on recording while trying to assemble a new band from scratch. As a result, what we have here is simply a bunch of lo-fi demos, mainly recorded with very little or no accompaniment beyond the odd half-hearted overdub. For the most part, the songs inhabit familiar Tsoy territory and fans can catch a glimpse of some stripped down standards, such as "Muzika" "Voln," "Sasha," and "Dozhd Dlya Nas" which would go on to become fully realized on later albums. Otherwise, the Serge Gainsbourg-like, "Ya Idu Po Ulitse," in particular, stands out as an enjoyable, well-developed nugget.

    Presenta SUMMER (Leto) Un film di Kirill Serebrennikov Con Teo Yoo, Irina Starshenbaum, Roman Bilyk Durata: 126’ DAL 15 NOVEMBRE AL CINEMA Ufficio Stampa – Echo Group Lisa Menga [email protected] | +39 347 5251051 Giulia Bertoni [email protected] | +39 338 5286378 Andreina Di Sanzo [email protected] | +39 329 1467564 Distribuzione italiana www.iwonderpictures.it «Meraviglioso» Time «Un viaggio rock selvaggio ed entusiasmante» Variety «Il film più scatenato dell’ultimo festival di Cannes» The Wrap SINOSSI Leningrado, un’estate dei primi anni Ottanta. In barba alla censura della Russia Sovietica, Mike e la sua band hanno una passione sfrenata per il rock che arriva illegalmente dagli Stati Uniti. Un giorno d’estate, fra birre, chitarre e falò, Mike e sua moglie Natasha conoscono Viktor, musicista emergente. È un colpo di fulmine: Mike lo prende sotto la sua ala, mentre fra Viktor e Natasha nasce un delicato gioco di emozioni contrastanti. Kirill Serebrennikov ripercorre la storia di due band che hanno fatto la storia del rock russo, gli Zoopark e i Kino. Applaudito al Festival di Cannes, Summer è un film romantico che riporta l’incanto di un mondo sospeso, in cui una generazione piena di ideali si affacciava al mondo cercando, forse in modo naïf, di cambiarlo. NOTE DEI PRODUTTORI YLA STEWART (HYPE FILM – RUSSIA) «In un’era caratterizzata dall’assenza di speranza e promesse e dall’abbondanza di cinismo, Summer è un progetto che, con un obiettivo dichiarato, racconta semplicemente la storia di un primo e sincero amore. II personaggio in questione però diventerà la più grande figura del rock russo.

  • General Info
    GENERAL INFO Black Maloka are a four-piece from Kyiv, Ukraine. They were originally formed in 2012 by astrophysicist Serge and visual artist Artem (who is better known by his alias Kaffelman). Before that, Serge had been writing songs since high school. But he showed little interest in becoming a rock star — mostly devoting himself to science and his university's football team. And then one day, quite fittingly, he met Kaffelman at a Zombies’ concert. Black Maloka are certainly one of the best and most internationally minded emerging music groups in Ukraine. The band’s sound is based on a contrast between vivid, upbeat guitar riffs reminiscent of English sixties Garage Rock on the one hand, and socially critical lyrics full of irony and sarcasm on the other. The band's musical idiom is used to convey simple, clear messages that appeal both to people at home and abroad. Serge is proud of his English language skills, and uses them to build bridges between people of various nationalities and cultural backgrounds. The band believe that borders are artificial constructs drawn up by politicians. The injustices that boundaries create is one of the things the band sings about. Unfortunately, Ukraine's music scene is pretty isolated. Most bands and musicians “boil in their own oil”: They remain unknown outside of the country no matter how popular they are locally. Black Maloka want to change this by becoming global pop stars.

  • Social Change and Marriage Patterns Among Koryo Saram in Kazakhstan, 1937–1965*
    Social Change and Marriage Patterns among Koryo Saram in Kazakhstan, 1937–1965* Natalya Yem and Stephen J. Epstein This article considers social forces set in motion when ethnic Koreans of the former Soviet Union (Koryo saram) were deported from the Soviet Far East to Central Asia under Stalin, treating these emerging phenomena as a context for understanding the community’s marriage patterns. Drawing on archival records from 1937 to1965 in Kazakhstan, we show how choice of marriage partner reflects changes in socioeconomic status, places of residence, gender roles and language use. Demographic data about interethnic marriages in Kazakhstan, we argue, serves as a useful tool for exploring relations between Koryo saram and the larger host society; these evolving trends in marriage patterns offer a window into the Korean diaspora experience locally and more broadly. Keywords: Korean diaspora, Koryo saram, interethnic marriage, census, Kazakhstan In recent years, scholars have turned increasing attention to the history of Koreans in the diaspora, outlining distinctive histories and patterns of settlement among Korean-Americans, Korean-Chinese (Joseonjok), Korean- Japanese (Zainichi), and Koreans of the former Soviet Union (Koryo saram) among others.1 With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of * This work was supported in part by the Korea Foundation for Advanced Studies International Scholar Exchange Fellowship for the 2011–2012 academic year. 1.

  • A Search for Cultural Identity in Contemporary Musical Films from Russia VOL
    ESSAY Singing for Meaning A Search for Cultural Identity in Contemporary Musical Films from Russia VOL. 110 (DECEMBER 2020) BY ALEXEY IZMALKOV The revival of the Russian film industry after the collapse of the state-run Soviet one was followed by a gradual and extensive assimilation of popular Hollywood genres. Both film producers and state functionaries saw importing commercially viable foreign forms, and wrapping local content into them, as a formula for bringing audiences back into cinemas, while at the same time cultivating a taste for domestic film products.​1​ Starting from the late 1990s, many popular genres have been re-invented, if with mixed success. To no small degree, that has entailed employing foreign approaches to production modes, visual styles, and narrative patterns, and imbuing them with local content. Unsurprisingly, taking something foreign and situating it within the national context inevitably sparks a certain tension and highlights questions of cultural affiliation and identity of both film product and film viewer. The film musical has proved to be no exception here. It is known that, due to the genre’s inherently loose verisimilitude and its proclivity for defamiliarization, musicals possess a particular capacity for reflection on abstract issues. Meanwhile, with such a strong cultural marker as music playing a central role in the genre, national musicals are distinctive manifestations of cultural identity. While contemplating this issue around different domains – globalization, trauma, nostalgia, the postmodern condition, etc. – contemporary Russian film musicals represent a platform for negotiation between old and new, foreign and local, original and imitation as points of tension within Russian society in the twenty-first century.

  • Music and Korean America
    172 Lie Chapter 8 Music and Korean America John Lie Sawada Kenji, Viktor Tsoi, Cui Jian. These three names evoke little or no flicker of recognition in the anglophone world, and surely among contemporary Korean Americans as well. Yet they are arguably the founding figures of rock music in Japan, Russia, and China, respectively, and they are all diasporic or ethnic Koreans. As the lead singer of Za Taigāsu (The Tigers), Sawada was a major figure in what the Japanese called “group sounds,” or the Japanese appro- priation of the Beatles and other soft-rock British and American boy groups, in the late 1960s.1 He would go on to have a superstar career as a solo singer, even breaking into the French charts in the 1970s.2 Tsoi pioneered rock music in the Soviet Union in the 1980s and had a profound impact on youth culture.3 His early death in 1990, at twenty-eight years old, added to his legend—perhaps appropriately for a rock star—and by 1999 he had been canonized in a stamp issued by the Russian government.4 Cui is frequently identified as the “father of Chinese rock” and became a household name by the late 1980s.5 Like Tsoi, who was associated with protests against the calcified Soviet government, Cui would be linked to the protest movement that culminated in the 1989 Tianan- men Massacre.6 Ethnic Korean presence in popular music is by no means restricted to rock ‘n’ roll. Popular music genres, ranging from rock to jazz, folk to classical, in many countries feature notable diasporic Korean performers.

  • Contemporary Russian Literature and Media Dr. Susanna Weygandt The
    Contemporary Russian Literature and Media Dr. Susanna Weygandt The aim of this graduate student course is to introduce students to signature literary and cultural texts from roughly the post-Stalin era to the present. The quintessential trends of Russian literature and culture of the past few decades appear to be the collapse of Soviet identity, techniques of historicizing the present, the documentary, reassessment of history, social critic, labor and immigration, nostalgia for the great empire, and the recognition of the effects Westernization. Many of these topics connect to late-Soviet dissidence and underground, samizdat, youth culture, and censorship. Therefore, in this course we will discuss the trajectory of literature, culture, and film from post-Stalin through contemporary times, which will feed into our focus on canon formation of contemporary “Russian” literature and culture. Learning Goals: Learn about major literary movements in relationship to the political history of their time; In addition to reading texts that are considered canonical of Russia’s contemporary period, we will be attentive to the literary and cultural peripheries (for instance, documentary film, guitar poetry). For graduate students taking this course, the aim is to equip graduate students with relevant comparative and theoretical approaches and concerns by reading theoretical texts that provide a framework for analyzing literature and culture of late-Soviet Russia and post-Soviet Russia. These combined skills will help graduate students produce, by the end of the course, a research paper structured for publication in a leading journal in the Slavic field. There is some new literature that is quintessential of the Russian contemporary period that has not yet completely met the eyes of an English-reading audience.

  • Moscow by Night: Musical Subcultures, Identity Formation, and Cultural Evolution in Russia, 1977–2008
    MOSCOW BY NIGHT: MUSICAL SUBCULTURES, IDENTITY FORMATION, AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION IN RUSSIA, 1977–2008 BY GREGORY R. KVEBERG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Diane Koenker, Chair Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Professor Craig Koslofsky Professor John McKay Professor Mark Steinberg Abstract This dissertation examines the history of musical subcultures in Moscow from 1977 to 2008. It argues that subcultures were not forces for revolutionary change, or natural loci of opposition to the state. Only during the brief period from 1982 to 1984 did the state actively seek to impose a unitary vision of culture on the Soviet Union. Throughout the rest of these three decades, the state allowed a significant range of subcultural expression. This policy won either loyalty or toleration for Brezhnev’s government from a majority of Muscovite subculturalists. It proved similarly successful when re- introduced by Vladimir Putin. This dissertation asserts that this policy of tolerance allowed official culture and subcultures to evolve together in a dialectical process. This work also charts key trends in the development of subcultural identities in Moscow. Subculturalists responded to shifting political and economic situations. They generally greeted the arrival of the market with ambivalence, as many felt that musical legitimacy required artists to eschew commercial success. Subculturalists eagerly embraced the Internet, and used it to form connections to other groups of subculturalists and to archive collective memories. Contact with the west produced a variety of different responses among subculturalists, and these responses speak to larger divisions within Russian society.

During his nearly 10 year career, the themes and sociopolitical messages of his music change drastically in specific areas, while remaining consistent over the duration of his career in other thematic areas. This change in thematic focus is most marked shortly after the introduction of the Glasnost reform by General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in 1985. The majority of his early work (1981- 1985) was overtly politically neutral, and those songs that did have a political statement layered into them did so in a subtle way, often commenting on sociopolitical problems through the lens of social issues such as feelings of isolation and disillusionment.
