I am not a special music lover, but sometimes some things are very clinging to the soul, and sometimes not even for purely musical reasons. Well, for example...
There is a Georgian vocal ensemble Bravo Metehi. Sometimes I listen to them with pleasure, if they accidentally come across on the Internet. But in general, how can Georgians sing in chorus, you can roughly imagine...
And then I saw them singing the song Ocean Elzi "Obiymi" (cover). They sing, as always, posh.
I don't know how to insert this video directly - it doesn't work... But you can see it here. It should work.
It's just what I think about when I listen to it... The song is actually in a sense about the war. Here is one of its verses, and in the translation into Russian, I think, it does not need much (the English translation is my own):
If the day comes,
The war will end,
There ruining yourself,
After hitting the bottom ...
There are two peoples - Georgians and Ukrainians. There are two countries-Ukraine and Georgia. And it is good that they are there. But WE have done everything possible to spoil all relations with both of these countries. By " WE " I mean, of course, the authorities.
And at the domestic and even family level - you all know very well how closely we are connected with these peoples, especially with the Ukrainians...
And now the Georgians are singing a Ukrainian song. And here, by the way, Okean Elzi is practically forbidden. Because the leader of this group, Slava Vakarchuk, being a patriot of his country, has repeatedly expressed his civil position regarding the role of Russia in the situation in the Donbas.
However, these guys from Bravo Metehi sing Russian songs "Poplars", "Darkie", etc. They just sing what they like melodically, not for any special political reasons. But I still feel a little bit bitter for some reason...
Good luck to all!..
