My PSR-S950 BossaNova cover of a Russian pop-song

Hello dear friends, how are you doing?

I liked that the video I had posted in the bar was well-received, so I made my own rendition of this present-day Russian pop-song. I used a "BossaNova" style for it (now in my mind my English teacher makes me to pronounce it correctly (and British) "bɒsə ˈnəʊvə!")



Well, still old me, using one piano voice throughout the whole song.

Just using this chance to share it with you and to demonstrate this keyboard once again!

Very enjoyable, a lovely melody also really enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing your work.

Bravo! Great idea to use the Bossa beat. Enjoyed my listen.

Beautiful. As Donny said, lovely melody and very nicely played. Goes very well with that style and that board (and the recording) sounds great.

Cut my musical teeth on Bossa....Sergio Mendez, Jose Feliciano and the like.

This is TASTY!


Be well, friend,

+1 to all the positive comments above.
Great playing and a smooth and lovely tune.

A very pretty melody, and very well played ...
I wanted to hear the 'original' ... it starts about 0:27 into the video ...
It attests to the beautiful rendition Kabinopus presented us with ...

Music really is "universal" isn't it! Great find, Tony. She's singing in Russian but it almost sounds like Brazilian Portuguese.

...and I didn't understand a word... nor did I need to!

Fantastic. ----Dave

Thank you, friends, for taking time to watch it and for your kind reception.

I guess, Igor Krutoi (the author of the song) is my favorite composer. It’s tricky to be focused on “simple” music like this one. Krutoi has been working with popular music for his entire career. But we know that the popular music today is very different from what it used to be 20 years ago. So instead of trying to adapt to new rules he became even more conservative, making albums with Dmitriy Hvorostovsky and Lara Fabian. I liked the album with Hvorostovsky a lot, but had trouble with Fabian. So Russian singer Angelica Varum wrote her own lyrics to that album and performed it in her own way, and that helped me to appreciate this music more.

I guess today the conflict within popular music is a very complicated one. While producers may say “well, the world has changed, adapt or die” I’m not really convinced that it is about adaptation to the progress. I guess it’s just a result of having too much information and it will take time before people learn how to navigate through it. But while I’m still guessing, others make profits.

Thank you for taking time to share it with us. Here in America, we had a puppeteer named Jim Henson. He created a character named "Kermit the Frog"... and his theme-song was, "It isn't easy being green!" At this stage of life, I'm not usually very fond of change. I cling to the "old ways" that were in-vogue when I was a child. Our church seems to have abandoned our hymns we sang during the WWII era and before. Now it's all about "Cowboy Churches" and while that must be better than having no beliefs at all... it isn't for me. It really isn't easy being "green!"... but, having said that, "Being Above-Ground is nice!" ----Dave
