Puzzle

'Puzzle' - an alternative ethno-rock band with an expressive vocalist of Swedish blood. The band combines shamanic beginning with the pragmatics of the East West. Logo of the group - 'Tatar voodoo' - is interpreted as an ancient symbol that connects East and West, and expresses the idea of merging cultures. In Kazan anciently crossed civilization: 'Silk Road' and path 'from the Vikings to the Greeks'. 'Puzzle' features powerful guitar and electronic sound and a wide stylistic range of art-rock and classic alternative to Ethniki and present pop hits. In music, 'Puzzle' You can hear echoes of creativity Guano Apes, and Nickelback.

Brothers Azat Gilmutdinov (guitar, music, lyrics, arrangements) and Rustam Ahmatgaraev (keys, music, lyrics, arrangements) were engaged in music since childhood. Rooting jazz and ethnic, studied Turkic culture: in Kazan established ethno-jazz project Dervish Dance, which began with interest in the spiritual songs of the Kazan Khanate - manadzhatam and Bait. With singer-Turkish singer guys even went on tour in Turkey. This experience gave Azat and Rustam understanding that the oriental culture can enrich the modern Western music unique size and melody. 'In our present work ethnics East and the Balkans - says Rustam Ahmatgaraev. - We studied the Turkic culture and processed it into a modern fashion. In any folk tunes have character, it does not cut diamonds. We all grew up in a country with multi-national culture and realized that the eclectic - a combination of incongruous - can lead to a new direction. "

. In Moscow, in late 2004, working session musicians, the brothers created a new project, becoming its ideologists
. In the new guys moved away from jazz, rock and replacing it compatible with the ethnics. 'Jazz language is sufficiently complex and it dislodged by new musical language - tells Azat Gilmutdinov. - We are looking for new forms, new ways of presenting ideas, and Rock gives us the opportunity to experiment. Rock - honesty and straightforwardness. "

Rustam and Azat long tried to find a vocalist who could perform at least one song from the repertoire of Guano Apes. It was Rick Hanssen, who went to the musicians after the concert and said that it would be in the team. She brought in a group of energy and drive that is truly sweeping the first rows of spectators at concerts. In the period of turbulent adolescence Rica sang in the rock underground, Sexton served at the club and has a very extreme concert experience. In addition, the Swedish origin Rica causes her love for Scandinavian Metal.

'Modern Western society - a society of consumption, in which a lot of spirituality and insensitivity, it is not welcome open expression of feelings and their inner world - reflects Rica. - All the emotions are hidden behind a phony Hollywood smile. We, by contrast, seek to express their feelings openly - and in music and in life. "

Found brethren and the people with whom have achieved a full understanding: Eider Bilyalov drummer and bassist Dmitry 'Tikhon' Tikhonov. The difference between the characters and artistic versatility have developed together - so get a 'Puzzle'. 'We found our drummer and bassist of those people who share our view - says Rustam. - We are now psychologically and creatively come together like puzzles, complemented each other '.
