Alai Oli

The special sound and original lyrics of the group Alai Oli brought unprecedented popularity to the members. The creators managed to find a unique style that soon fell in love with the audience.

The biography of the Alai Oli collective began on September 29, 2004 in the city of Yekaterinburg. The founders and ideological inspirers of the group were Olga Marquez and Alexander Shapovski, who have friendly relations. They decided to take the name from the fairy tale of the soloist Marquez called "The Iron Lion". According to the plot of the story, this phrase is translated as “to carry positive”.

Once the demo of the song got to the organizers of the Factory Jha festival. After the audition, the band was invited to perform on stage. An interesting point is that at that time there was no group as such, so Olga and Alexander literally in 2 weeks assembled a team that performed at the festival. They got a pass to the finals, winning the first listeners. More than that, the participants were invited to perform in different cities of the country.

In the collective, Olga Marquez became a soloist, this is her first and only brainchild in the musical field. From early childhood, the girl was fond of writing poetry, and she began to write her first songs in the 9th grade, without having a musical education.

The lyrics for the group are still being written by Olga. A feature of the soloist is often called a catchy "smiling" voice. Indeed, in an interview, Marquez admitted that she was recording songs with a smile.

Second founder Alexander Shapovski plays bass. Ruslan Gadzhimuradov is behind the drum kit, and Andrey Artemiev is behind the keys. Denis Kharlashin is responsible for the guitar, and Ilya Flugeltaub is responsible for the trumpet and flugelhorn. This is the famous group Alai Oli.

Each of them is not a session member, but a full-fledged member of the group who voluntarily invests time and effort into it. Musicians, not counting the founders, lead a dense creative life in other collectives. The group does not often perform, which is why the concerts of "Alai Oli" are so bright and emotionally strong. The members believe that if the band will regularly tour, it will turn into work, which is contrary to the philosophy of Alai Oli.

The key moment in the life of the group was the invitation to the concert dedicated to the birthday of Bob Marley. The leading reggae bands of the country, as well as the frontman of Massive Attack - Andy Horace took part in the festival.

Throughout the year after the group was officially formed, the members toured extensively, taking part in many summer festivals. And at the beginning of 2006, Alai Oli performed in the Moscow club "Tochka" with an individual concert.

A year later, the first album was released, entitled "Yes, Bro?", Which opened the way for musicians to large venues and festivals. By the end of 2008, the participants presented their second album "Snow Barcelona" to the fans, which received a favorable response from the audience.

The significant events in the life of the group were the move from their hometown to St. Petersburg after meeting art manager Artyom Dertev and a performance at the Green Theater in the capital of Russia.

After Ilya Flyugeltaub, a trumpeter with a classical musical education, joined the band, the recognizable rhythms of Alai Oli were finally formed. As for the genre of music, the band is usually referred to as reggae-ska due to the fact that both directions are present in the band's tracks, despite their apparent similarity.

The soloist of the group admits that Alai Oli play "conditional" reggae, and the sound is more of Ural music, the essence of which is in nationality and simplicity.

For two years the group toured the expanses of the homeland and beyond its borders - in the cities of Europe. At the end of 2011 "Alai Oli" presented the third studio album "Satta Massagana". This release became a turning point for the musicians, since after it the team develops a new sound that was built in a natural way, absorbing a lot of light and a drop of mysticism.

Significant anniversary - 10 years - Alai Oli celebrated big concerts in her native Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg and Moscow. In the spring of 2015, the ensemble performed with a symphony orchestra, the program of which was invented and implemented by the trumpeter Ilya.

Around the same time, work is underway on the upcoming release. In the new album "Balance and Depth" Alai Oli embodied the absolute balance of the light and dark sides of the world. The album was released in two versions: the "blue" version is a high-quality and clear production, and the "red" version is more of a "tube" format. At this time, Alai Oli recorded a cover of the hit "Animal Jaz" called "Three Stripes".

In December 2017, the group presented on the Internet a mini-album "Oshhh", which included 3 tracks. Together with the new material, Alai Oli released a video for the title track.

The Alai Oli group continues to create wonderful music and delight listeners with new songs, replenishing the discography. In the spring of 2018, the single "The City Does Not Accept" was released, recorded together with Vladi, a member of the "Casta" group. The song hit the Chartova Dozen hit parade on Nashe Radio.

At the same time, the team presented a "non-film" called "Alise", directed by Vitaly Akimov. A little later, the group released a music album of the same name, which is an archetype at the center of several stories combined into one. Alice is not a fictional character and not one person, the dialogues in the visual album are recorded on a dictaphone or camera.

Since the material has an annular composition, each chapter can be the first, each can be the last. Therefore, history has no beginning and no end.

In the summer of 2018, the group performed with a concert in St. Petersburg at the large-scale festival "Peter, I Love You".

Alai Oli recently expressed a desire to make a small tour in May 2019 in Kamchatka and the Far East. The details of the tour are not yet known, since the concert program has not yet been formed.

The team has an account on the Instagram social network, but the participants pay more attention to the verified group on VKontakte, where they regularly post publications of current events in life.
