Product Information
On his new album Bulat Blues Daniel Kahn devotes himself to the »Georges Brassens of the Soviet Union«, Bulat Okudzhava, in new, own adaptations in English and a touch of Russian. Daniel Kahn is accompanied by the virtuoso Moscow musician Vanya Zhuk on the Russian 7-string guitar.
The Georgian-Armenian Muscovite Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava (1924-1997), the spiritual father of all Russian singer-songwriters, is almost unanimously revered in Russia and the post-Soviet diaspora. His songs, which come from his experiences as a soldier, pacifist, poet and novelist of the Second World War, are deeply human. When Okudzhava privately performed them in the 1950s, he almost single-handedly invented the figure of the modern Russian guitar bard.
Reviews
»Changierend zwischen der Ruppigkeit der Pogues und der Songwriter-Eindringlichkeit eines Leonard Cohen zeigen Khan und Vanya Zhuk an der siebensaitigen Gitarre, wie zeitlos und erinnerungswürdig Bulats Schaffen ist.« (Stereo, Dezember 2019)Tracklisting
