Recently the Na-na group celebrated its anniversary. With a festive "shock show" dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the group, the heroes of the day even visited China, Turkey and Greece. Finally, the turn came to Moscow. On March 6, the bottomless Olimpiyskiy hardly accommodated the fans of the legendary Nanais. During its existence, the composition of the group "Na-na" has changed many times. From the old line-up, only two singers now remain - Vladimir Politov and Slava Zherebkin, and they are now accompanied by new young participants - Oleg Korshunov and Sergey Grigoriev. Cleo asked the updated "Nanai" about updates in the line-up, plans for the future, erotic outfits and Bari Alibasov.

Blitz survey "Cleo":

Are you friends with the Internet?

Yes.

I am on friendly terms.

Sometimes I get stuck, and it's very difficult to get out into the real world.

What is an unaffordable luxury for you?

Nothing. What I get is what I get.

Idleness.

I agree with Volodya.

Which animal do you associate yourself with?

With a snake.

With a dog.

I am a meerkat.

Did you have a nickname as a child?

They called him Bob, Grieg. And my mother called me Sergunya.

They called me a chick and an ostrich.

Shaggy and feathered.

What turns you on?

Sex and music.

Achievement of some result.

Beautiful girls, speed.

Are you an owl or a lark?

I am something in between.

Owl.

I am a sparrow.

Guys, why is this name a shock show? What shocked the audience?

To begin with, the concert lasted more than three and a half hours, usually none of the singers work for that long. Then a lot of artists were invited to the concert, who sang songs of the Na-na group in the first part, and we, of course, accompanied them. A lot of special effects … In general, it was necessary to see, to describe all this extravaganza is difficult.

The Na-na group was created in January 1989. That is, in fact, you are already twenty-one years old. And the jubilee was just 2009. How did it happen that in 2010 you are still celebrating your twentieth birthday?

Our anniversary - 20 years of the group - we will celebrate until the anniversary of 25 years! (Laughs).

You always have such crazy erotic costumes - do you feel comfortable in them? Were there any cases that someone refused to wear revealing costumes?

In any theater there is a director, and the task of an actor is to fulfill the director's idea. And we have not just a group, we have a theater. And we always surprise not with costumes, but with our charisma.

For new streams of charisma, you have updated the group. Was it hard to get along with its new members?

We are not cockroaches from different crevices, so as not to be able to get along. And the guys have been working for almost two years. We have a well-coordinated team.

Vova is an optimist and a partisan. In fact, there were difficulties, not without it. It's like you come to a new organization, a group, you are a new person there, and at first it is difficult to join the general team. But somehow we quickly got along with everyone and became friends.

What parameters were used to select applicants? Professionalism, human qualities?

The main thing for us was to be able to sing and own musical instruments. And, of course, all this should have a pleasant face and good plastic. And then they already checked whether a person joins the team or not, that is, human qualities. There were also those who passed the general casting, but did not get along in the team. The casting took place in just a week.

After we were taken away, we learned that about 10,000 people had passed before us. And it is incredibly pleasant that we were selected from such a large number of people.

I purposefully walked here: I heard about the recruitment of soloists and came. There were no thoughts "they will take it, they will not take it," I thought: what I can do, I will show you. Maybe this is how the artist is checked.

Who is in charge of the Na-na group after all? If you do not take into account the unconditional leadership of Bari Alibasov?

We always give preference to Vova. (Smiles). He is older, more experienced, he will always advise and help.

And in creativity who has the last word - for the team or for Bari?

In fact, he decides what he wants to do, but he also consults with us.

What is your psychological age?

I'm 21, but for some reason I feel 19.

For 25-30 years.

Never thought about it.

Do you have a talisman?

I used to have a talisman - such a round glass sphere Mir. But it's so heavy, I don't carry it with me now.

I have all the talismans painted on me.

No. If you only consider my guitar as a talisman.

How do you relieve stress?

It's enough for me to close myself somewhere and sing.

Now Oleg and I will go to the gym, relieve stress.

Where did you spend your last vacation?

At home, in the Kaluga region.

After the New Year holidays, I left alone to the country house and rested.

Also at home, in Tomsk.

What melody is on your mobile phone?

I don't have any at all.

I have my song, which no one knows, I recorded it in Germany.

My phone chooses melodies on its own, once it beeps like that, another time in a different way.

What's your favorite saying?

Do not look around you more evil than yourself.

Don't have sex with my brain.

Be yourself.

He may come up and say: "Here you need to come up with a name, you make a list, I'll come and see." Although it also happens: we will all get together, make a decision, although we know in advance that Bari has already made his decision.

Are you given songs, do you like the meaning of the lyrics, the genre of music?

It all depends on us how we fulfill them. We do not choose songs, but songs choose us. Each of us will sing it, and then we choose which line suits to whom in character, voice, temperament. But all this is selected for a long time and carefully.

Guys, who is Bari Alibasov to you - a father or a strict boss?

Bari and I have always had a friendly partnership. But in his work he is quite strict. If the bar falls somewhere, then it does not matter in what relationship you are with him in life, you will receive on a par with everyone else. (Smiles).

That is, after all, you communicate more with him as a celestial - on business and only on business?

Of course not! We can drink beer, go to the bathhouse, and give up somewhere to rest or to a nightclub.

Guys, the Na-na group has always been wildly popular. Were there any cases when fans made your life very difficult?

Quite recently, all the walls were painted in front of the studio, they were painted over more than once, so a star was nailed here. (Laughs). They stole the stage costumes from us, and smoked us out of the studio - they lit a newspaper and put them in the hood, and scratched all sorts of words on the car with a carnation.

Have you tried to fight them somehow?

Why fight what you work for? These are the costs of the profession.

Do you somehow communicate with them, arrange meetings of fan clubs?

Oh sure. Slava and I organize an international gathering of our fans every year. Slava has its own fan club, I have my own. We rent some room in a club or entertainment center, and girls from all over the world flock, and we devote the whole day to our fans.

How old is your average female fan?

Our fans have grown up, they already have children of 18-19 years old, but nothing has changed from this. Regardless of nationality, religion and sexual orientation, people everywhere cry and laugh the same way at our songs.

And in addition to their own creativity, there is still time for other art - theater, cinema?

Yes, sometimes we have time. We recently attended the premiere of the play "Cosmonautics Day"

And outside the group do you communicate with families, meet, celebrate holidays together, or do you still prefer to relax from each other?

Of course! We can all go to the dacha together, take a steam bath. Vovina's daughter Alena and I are friends when she is in Russia.

She lives with her father for six months, six months with her mother. And when the parents are busy, they live with their grandmother in Finland. That is, the daughter rushes between Finland, Goa and Moscow.

Volodya, you and your group went to America, but you still failed to conquer the West. Do you think it was a fatal mistake or a test of the band's strength?

Firstly, it was a huge school - both in life and professionally. We met and made friends with many famous people, improved singing, that is, we studied vocals, worked with American sound producers, and worked in local studios.

There is still no such well-functioning system in Russia. There we recorded an American album, then we plunged deeply into their culture, we learned a lot.

Let's imagine that in a few years the Na-na group will close down. What will you do?

I'll find something to do. Before the Na-na group I worked in America, whatever I was doing there: I sold underwear in the men's departments of New York, and worked at a factory, assembled furniture. I don’t know what I’m going to do, if the group breaks up, I’ll probably continue to sing, although I’ve never done professional singing before.

You, journalists, have been burying us for over 20 years. Every year we do not get tired of repeating to everyone: you will not wait!
