About VIA Pesnyary
Pesniary (also spelled Pesnyary) Belarusian: Песняры, IPA: [pʲesʲnʲa'rɨ]) is a popular Soviet Belorussian folk band. It was founded in 1969 by guitarist Vladimir Muliavin. Before 1970 the band was known under the name Liavony (Лявоны). Pesniary combined various types of music, but it was mostly based on Belarusian folklore, though often with various psychedelic rock elements and later rock as well. Pesniary's songs were usually composed by Alexandra Pakhmutova. The band often used lyrics from the famous Russian and Belorussian poets of the past. Pesniary's favourite was Yanka Kupala. The band adapted his poems into stage musicals twice: Pesnia o Dole (Song of Fate, 1976) and Guslar (1980), the latter also released as concept album. Pesniary was the best-known Soviet group coming from the Belorussian SSR. It was one of the very few (and possibly the first) Soviet bands to tour in America in 1976. They've toured the South of the USA together with a folk band New Christy Minstrels. 1974-1980 is considered the Golden Age era of the band when it achieved top popularity in the USSR, in Eastern Europe and in other countries. Among their best known song are "Kasiu Yas Kanushynu" , "Belovezhskaya Pushcha", "Belorussia" and "Alesia". After band's leader Vladimir Muliavin death in a car accident on January 26, 2003, the original Pesniari split. Currently, three different bands laid claims to be the official descendants of the original "Pesniary" band. They are: * Belarussian State Ensemble Pesneri - state-produced band under Ministry of Culture of Belarus, consisting mostly of young musicians. * "Belorusskie Pesniari" led by former Pesniari saxophonist Vladislav Misevich * "Pesniari" led by former Pesniari vocalist Leonid Bortkevich.
