Song: Увезу тебя я в тундру
Let the last day of winter be very winter-like^•^
A little background. In the translation of the song about the magic flower, I have already told that the USSR was desperately trying to save small nations - especially ones of the Far North and Siberia. And thanks to this, more and more new personalities of these peoples were added to the Soviet walk of fame.
One of them was Kola Beldy. A native of a tiny Nanai (a tribe on the territory of modern Russia and China on the Pacific coast, numbering about 16,000 people) village on the Pacific coast. At the age of 16, in 1945, he fled to the front, adding 2 years to himself and joined the Pacific Fleet as a cabin boy in the Soviet-Japanese War of 1945.
After the war, he moved to the European part of the USSR, entered and graduated from the Saratov Conservatory as a vocalist and since then has been actively performing in philharmonic halls and concerts. While studying, Kola Beldy was also working at the steel factory. Other workers remembered him as one of the kindest person ever - always to help and comfort, funny and friendly fellow.
In 1970, the famous Soviet composer Mark Fradkin and songwriter Mikhail Plyatkovsky wrote the song "I'll take you to the Tundra". And in 1972, by order of the Minister of Culture of the USSR Katherina Furtseva, the aforementioned Kola Beldy was invited to the Soviet television music festival "Song-1972" to perform this song, since he was a kind of living embodiment of the peoples of Siberia. The song became a hit and one of the most recognizable songs of the USSR.
Here is this very performance. At 0:34 camera shows mentioned composer Mark Fradkin (older, left one) and poet songwriter Mikhail Plyatkovsky (younger, right one). But most popular is a version of 1977
Another interesting fact about Kola Beldy: when Akira Kurosawa was working in the USSR for a movie "Dersu Uzala" in 1972-1975, he was auditioning to play a protagonist (since real Dersu Uzala was a nanai too), but he wasn't accepted. However, Akira invited him to be a consultant for nanai folk music and songs in the movie, since real Dersu Uzala was a nanai.
And for fans of boysbands: here we go.
