Garik Sukachev celebrated the 30th anniversary of the album "Songs from the Outskirts" on the stage of Gorbunov Recreation Center

There is a thaw in March in Moscow, and the month of May has suddenly arrived on the stage of the legendary Gorbushka. Garik Sukachev celebrated the 30th anniversary of his album "Songs from the Outskirts". The band members and fans shared their impressions of the concert on March 15.

His compositions are a reflection of time, and the characters are almost always real people. Thousands of fans came to meet their favorite song characters. Only he, Garik Sukachev, can strike the strings of the soul of the overflowing Gorbunov Recreation Center with proletarian jazz.

"Some comrades changed their shoes, changed, left, but he remained the same as he is in 1985-86, as he is now," fan Dmitry Donskoy told Izvestia correspondent Ilya Anikeev.

"This man simply amazes us with his drive and charisma," added Natalia Krokha, a spectator.

A mischievous Moscow reveler would not have been a rocker if, instead of the expected courage, he had not staged a lamp-academic evening on stage.

"We haven't played any songs for 20 years, some 25 years. We've never played a couple of concerts," said musician Garik Sukachev.

Accompanied by almost an entire orchestra, the iconic musician celebrates the 30th anniversary of his album Songs from the Outskirts.

"I always write here and now, how I feel about time right now. For the last 40 years, at least, that's how I've treated myself," the singer said.

The ten—song album is a synthesis of rock'n'roll aesthetics and yard lyrics. There's a Russian romance, a Belgian chanson, and "damned" French poetry set on sheet music.

"On the album cover, a quiet Moscow courtyard is painted with colored pencils and a recognizable profile of an ordinary man in a cap. "Songs from the Outskirts" used to be released only on discs and cassettes, 30 years later you can hear your favorite compositions on a vinyl record," the correspondent said.

A separate motif in Sukachev's lyrics is his hometown of Moscow. The capital is beautiful, vast, sometimes dangerous, but always beloved, along with its grotesque characters.

"The prostitutes are real, the police are real, these are people I've met, whom I've seen, I've made up some of them, but that doesn't mean I took them, came up with them, sitting behind my fence on Rublyovo Uspenka," Sukachev said.

Even at 67, Garik Sukachev remains the same guy from the outskirts, cheeky, eternally young — there is no other like him.

Vadim Samoilov, the founder of the legendary Agatha Christie group, performed with the symphony orchestra in Moscow on March 1, creating a sensation. Each concert of the symphonic tour, which swept through the cities of the country, turned out to be different from the previous one, and some fans even came to Moscow from Kaliningrad.
