Description: The first album by probably the best-known non-mainstream Russian group of the 1990-ies.
Spacey, mystical music with electronic and traditional instruments taking you “to the other side” from the first chords, a kind of “folklore from nowhere”.
Below is some information I have borrowed from the Web:
The "Ole Lukkoye" Project (OL) has been living and developing since 1993 when its first album Zapara came out. Boris Bardash created a group belonging to a musical trend which turned out to be very difficult to define, though the group's music was undoubtedly contemporary. There was one thing common about the estimations of this music - the use of the word "psychedelia" in the sense of "clarifying the mind", but no precise label such as reggae, trip-hop, jazz, rock, etc. had been found. The main thing about the OL group has always been a powerful rhythmic base consisting of electronical loops and sequences along with live instruments - from the African jamba and the Turkish darabuka to the shaman drum. The combination of the sounds that belong to different ethnic cultures and the contemporary rock instruments paradoxically doesn't create a sense of eclecticism. The musicians don't play the music of this or that country but they create the language of their own images which is common for all nations, for the roots, the source, the oldest motherland. That seemed strange in the cold northern city of St Petersburg. So OL was taken as some natures wonder existing on its own. At different moments, according to the set task, the OL Project co-operated with musicians playing various instruments: bassoon, rubab, bass guitar, cello, banjo, trumpet, bayan (Russian accordion), etc. Beginning with 1994 OL has been touring Europe a lot. The tours and festivals in Norway, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, Sweden, Poland, Belgium, Czechia, Slovakia, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland brought the group constant friends and admirers. After their successful performance at Burg Herzberg Open Air '99 the OL musicians got to know the legendary cult German group "Faust"…
Most of the group’s musicians were previously in the legendary “Rainy Season” famous mostly for their “Return”, a unique prog album. Ole Lukoye in turn also became quite popular even in Europe, western “Think Progressive” and “Lollipop Shop” labels published some of their subsequent releases.
This album, Zapara, was pressed on vinyl in very limited quantity and has become sought after very quickly.
Offered here is an original Leningrad plant pressing copy in TOP CONDITION.
