"Gurzuf" is a highly unusual and highly successful instrumental band,
which plays since 2005. This is a duet of an accordionist Egor Zabelov
and drummer Artem Zalesskiy. They are playing... well, if I am allowed
to add a bit of personal impression here, I'd characterize this as
"imagine if King Crimson were to play the tunes of Philip Glass with
an accordion". "Gurzuf's" music is a synthesis of alternative music
styles such as punk, hard rock, hip-hop with classical and folk music
— highly expressive, challenging kind of tunes.
In under three years musicians have managed to achieve
quite a lot: they've composed and recorded a couple of sound tracks
for the belorussian puppet theater plays, released a full-length album,
achieved a great level of popularity in the neighboring countries —
they're now cruising with concerts in Ukraine, Poland, Switzerland, France, Germany and Russia all the time. Their level of professionalism was previously recognized with many awards on Russian and Polish alternative music festivals, and have represented in december 2007 their country at the GBOB competition in London.
Recently "Gurzuf" composed soundtrack for the performance "Moby Dick" which was released in one of the Magdeburg theaters this spring.
