TaRUTA. Narodzheni v LYUBOVI. /digi-pack/. (Born in LOVE)

Once, a long time ago Tartak sent us the "Music Letter of Happiness", do you remember that? Well, and the group TaRUTA went even further: it sends to us – to you – already a complete parcel post) And this is not only about the external design of this release – which, by the way, based on its quality, can absolutely be regarded as a premium one. And not even about that inside you will find a beautiful 24-page booklet with lyrics and photos – although this is also, you should agree, nice. This is about the content as it is – 11 tracks, but they are somehow so saturated and diverse that it may seem there are twice more of them. First, there are both author's and folk texts there – and some author's ones really resemble folk songs, this is a compliment.. And second – within one album, actually, three manners and ways of performing are mixed: skilful "folk" singing, powerful ethno-rock and the "acoustics" (which, however, also verge on folklore – but that is already another quality of vibrations). Well, we were not the first to notice it – the musicians themselves determine their style as a mixture of exactly these three ingredients. They tell us the truth) While let us add the following: there are groups performing ethno-rock coolly, at a high quality – but for them it is as if a play, a performance. While in the case of TaRUTA – there is the feeling that everything is happening and experienced authentically, as a life style. And the quality also remains – irrefutable.
