 Nino Katamadze & Insight is a complicated, intelligent, outlandish music; a detailed philosophical description of human life. These songs are force you to think about the eternity of life, make you feel empathy, compassion and hope. The essence and meaning of the band’s work is to penetrate to the core of life’s complex phenomena. Those, who know better, say that Nino Katamadze should «not to be understood, but rather to be inhaled, in large dozes, as an antidote from loneliness, panacea for stress, tincture against aggression and injection to cure from skepticism». Nino Katamadze & «Insight» means original compositions, synthesis of Georgian and modern world music school, surprising with findings and high quality execution of music arrangements, strong, emotional and deep vocal. You may define it as jazz, rock, pop and psychedelia. When you listen to this music you do not have to be concern about what it is and to what style it belongs.This surprising project draws full audiences. Nino’s voice, her manner and wave of feelings that covers the audience during the concert stuck to each person’s memory at once and for a lifetime; her improvisation is illusive and very much performed in her own way. Her singing manner is unique. Her music brings us back to folk songs, and is based on perception, that any good song is in itself a folk song. You don’t need to speak or understand Georgian language to enjoy Insight’s music; lyrics are beyond the words and lines, and many improvisations are solely a divine voice, free of words. Nino sings not words, but her feelings. Even the most serious music critics do not hesitate to express their boundless delight of Nino’s and the Insight band’s skill and art. Nino Katamadze (Georgia) was born on August 21, 1972 in Adzhariya, in the city of Kobuleti. She is on stage since she was four. In 1990 Nino entered Vocal faculty of Batumi Musical Institute and came on an amateur stage. In 1994 she founded a Charity Fund to help disabled and actors at risk.

 One of the most popular alt-rock outfits in Russia and the former Soviet Union, Splean formed in St. Petersburg in 1994 around the talents of lead singer and guitarist Alexander Vasilyev, keyboardist Nikolay Rostovsky, guitarist Vadim Sergeyev, bass player Dmitriy Kunin, and drummer Alexey Mesherekov. The band's name is derived from "spleen" (in the sense of "depression"), and the "ea" spelling in English is a pun on the spelling of the Beatles. It was borrowed from a short poem by Sasha Cherny, a well-known poet, lived and worked in the beginning of the XX century. In this evening Splean will present their new 14th album Key to the Cipher and a new concert program - they both are long awaiting.
