OgneOpasnOrkestr (OOO) is one of the brightest, the most cheerful and unpredictable phenomenon of Moscow musical life. It is the group which doesnt find room on every club stage, but for sure blows any dance floor. Balkan and Jewish melodies, Cuban, Jamaican and Ukrainian rhythms, jazz, funk, ska, rumba and klezmers although the music of the OgneOpasnOrkestr might seem eclectic, it creates a very integral impression. It is impossible not to yield to it, but to describe it is rather difficult. One may only try to do it: OgneOpasnOrkestr means dancing till one drops when all body hurts next day; klatches up to the stop with a hangover next morning; love until death with an illegible phone number on a crumpled napkin next day. Leader of the group is Karl Hlamkin, a famous roarer from Riga who moved to Moscow four years ago, a talented artist and master of drum kit who used to be a raving alcoholic, but nowadays is none the less raving teetotaler. He drinks kefir, smokes a pipe, collects exotic drums, acts in television series, does gardening and with his wife Liga brings up his eight-year-old son Kim. Other members of the band are: Oleg Maryakhin (saxophones), Boris Dolmatov (guitars), Mikhail Popov (accordion), Sanya Vtorov (drums), Robert Musin (bass guitar), Yury Sabitov (trumpet), Ramil Mulikov (trombone, baritone).
