5 studio albums, 7 collections, dozens of video clips and hundreds of concerts throughout Russia, Ukraine and other countries, both in the CIS and beyond, is the creative path made over the years of existence by this musical team. Although there is no trace of the "ensemble" of the "ensemble", the group "VIA Gra", which celebrated the 20th anniversary in 2020, is still popular with fans.
Curious facts from the biography of the collective - in the material 24cm.
1. Golden times
In total, during the existence of a musical team, 18 soloists and 19 compositions have been replaced in it. Moreover, the "VIA Gra" group does not reach the demand for its "golden period", which came on the years when it was Hope Granovskaya, Anna Sedokova and Vera Brezhnev. It is with these three girls that the team is connected by the flowering of the team and its output on the peak of popularity.It is noteworthy that producers, unlike numerous fans, under the "Golden Composition" often imply the one in which Albin Janabaeva included.
2. Mystery name
There are several options for deciphering the name of the POP Group "VIA Gra". According to one of the versions, this is a combination of abbreviations "vocal-instrumental ensemble" with the word "game" in the Ukrainian language.
Separate fans tend to suspect the name of the hint at the first soloists of the team - Alena Vinnitsa (VIA) and the hope of Granovskaya (GR), which began as a duet.
Some assumed that in three last letters there is a reduction from a peculiar slogan "Voice. Joy. Artistry". Although an unequivocal answer to the question of which specifically the meaning was invested by the creators in the name of the musical group, no, one thing is clear - consonant with pills to stimulate "male power" here is clearly not good.
3. then the duet, or even
Three times for the time that there is a group "VIA Gra", she was converted from a trio to turn into a duet. At first at the dawn of the formation of a team, when a couple of Alena Vinnitsa was Nadezhda Granovskaya. Then, in search of the third participants, the producers did not have enough time, because it was necessary to urgently launch the project, the start of which was already concluded due to all sorts of linings.For the second time, for the second time, for almost a year (from July 2007 to March 2008), Albina Janabayeva had to speak with the Bagaudine Messena. It happened after the group left Vera Brezhnev, who wished to do their own solo career.
Again, the trio was a duet in October 2013 - then the United States Valery Meladze and Eve Bushmina again remained together, since the third girl, Santa Dimopulos, wished to go to "independent swimming."
4. In the missing lists
Not everywhere I favorably took the work of "VIA Gra", sometimes rendered overly "hot" for a particular country. So, for example, a clip on the song "Biology" at one time was banned from displaying in the territory of the Republic of Belarus. And the video on another composition - "Stop! Stop! Stop!" - It turned out to be published in Taiwan and in Indonesia.
5. Duplicate
2013 It turned out to be notable for the collective by the fact that Konstantin Meladze and Dmitry Kostyuk, who also stood at the origins of the creation of the VIA Gra group, scored their own compositions - each independently. Eric Herceg, Misha Romanova and Anastasia Kozhevnikov, entered the first one. In the second, Kostyukovsky, - Aina Vilberg and two Daria, Rostov and Honey. True, the alternative team "Uptvil" is not long - the cessation of its existence was announced in 2015.6. Gra
Hope Granovskaya repeatedly with a laugh argued that at one time she was taken to the group not for vocal data, but thanks to volumes in the field of "upper 90". However, the producers confirmed her words - they said that the girl "came to taste the camera", and then he did not sing at all. But in the end turned out to be the most faithful group.
Unlike the rest of the participants who passed through the team, Nadezhda Granovskaya worked as much with three compositions: in the period from 2000 to 2002, from 2002 to 2006, then from 2009 to 2011.
7. In one water ...
Anna Sedokova tried to get into the first part of the participants of VIA Gra, but did not pass due to age. But already in 2002, the girl's desire was fulfilled - she became a full member of the team. True, leaving in the 2004 decree, Anna could not return to the basis of Anna - her place first left Svetlana Loboda, and then at all the long time he was consolidated for Albina Janabayeva, with which the group "VIA Gra" existed from 2006 to 2013 .
