Starting as one of the most influential bands in the country, the Dynamic group eventually turned into a constantly changing line-up that accompanies its permanent leader, author of most of the songs and singer - Vladimir Kuzmin.
But if we discard this minor misunderstanding, then we can safely say that Dynamic is a progressive and legendary band from the times of the Soviet Union. The band's recordings are still among the classics of Russian rock.
The history of the Dynamic group is filled with twists and turns. But this does not "block" the success of the team. The rock band is still afloat. Musicians tour, take part in festivals and holiday concerts.
The history of the creation and composition of the Dynamic group
At the origins of the group is a talented person - Vladimir Kuzmin. The young man has been involved in music since childhood. As a high school student, Vladimir decided for sure that he wanted to devote his life to music.
Organizational skills contributed to the fact that, being a student of the 11th grade, Kuzmin gathered like-minded people and created a group. Soon the team performed at school and city events.
Initially, the musicians created cover versions for the tracks of foreign rock artists. Before creating their own material, the guys still lacked experience.
In the mid-1970s, Vladimir applied to the railway institute, but a few years later he left the higher educational institution.
Kuzmin realized that he did not want to waste time on an unloved thing, so he became a student at a music school.
After graduating from a music school, Vladimir was listed in the vocal and instrumental ensemble Nadezhda, and a few months later he was invited to cooperate with the legendary group Gems.
At the time of Kuzmin's enrollment in the team, it was one of the most popular teams in the USSR. The group's repertoire included lyrical compositions of a civil and patriotic nature.
In the late 1970s, Vladimir Kuzmin began collaborating with Alexander Barykin (former soloist of the Cheerful Guys group). After leaving the "Merry Fellows" team, Barykin was in "flight".
He was looking for like-minded people to create his own project. Soon the group "Carnival" was created. Kuzmin made a significant contribution to the development of the group - he wrote several top tracks for the new team.
Initially, the Karnaval group performed exclusively in Moscow. In 1981, the presentation of the album "Superman" took place. Soon it became known about the breakup of the team, which was a surprise for most fans.
Kuzmin and Barykin became members of the Tula Philharmonic, performed before the concerts of the VIA "Red Poppies". The musicians of the ensemble knew about the work of Kuzmin and Barykin.
Soon, three soloists of VIA "Red Poppies" and the group "Karnaval" united to please music lovers with original music.
Despite the increase in popularity, a year later it became known about the breakup of the group. The reason for the collapse of the group was the conflict - each of the musicians had their own view of the group's repertoire.
Create a speaker group
After the collapse of the team, Barykin remained to create in the Carnival group, and Vladimir Kuzmin created a new team, called Dynamic. The original members of the group included:
- Yuri Chernavsky (saxophone, keyboards);
- Sergey Ryzhov (bassist);
- Yuri Kitaev (drummer).
The group "Dynamik" had enough of a year to release their debut album, "roll back" the tour and enjoy all-Union popularity.
On the debut album, songs of various musical styles were collected: from blues to reggae and rock and roll, which attracted a mass audience.
The musical compositions of the new band interested music lovers due to the fact that the musicians touched upon life events in the songs that ordinary people are accustomed to encounter.
And, yes, most of the fans of the Dynamic group are representatives of the weaker sex. Soon Yuri Chernavsky left the group.
The departure of the musician did not interfere with the performances of the group, as well as the recording of the new track "The Roof of Your House", which became a hit for many generations.
In the fall of 1982, the brother of the soloist Alexander Kuzmin joined the band.
The mid-1980s is the development of anti-rock politics. Thus, groups that did not have the “necessary connections” did not have the opportunity to get on television and to the broad masses.
The Dynamic group was among the groups that had no prospects. For a long time the team was without work, and therefore without money.
Because of this, Yuri Kitaev and Sergey Ryzhov decided to move to the Cheerful Guys team, and Sergey Evdochenko and Yuri Rogozhin took their places in the Dynamic group.
Music group Speaker
In 1983, the group "Dynamik" presented the album "Take it with you" to fans. In addition, the team did not get tired of replenishing the videography with new video clips.
Video clips for the tracks "Ball" and "Shower" were very popular with fans.
Since the mid-1980s, the Dynamic group has been actively touring the Soviet Union. In the same period of time, Gennady Ryabtsev, a talented saxophonist, guitarist and keyboardist, joined the band.
In 1984, Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who was just in a creative search, became interested in musicians. The prima donna attracted Kuzmin to cooperation, and even managed to record several songs with him.
But soon Vladimir again returned to the Dynamic team. Then serious changes were taking place in the group - the composition changed with the speed of the wind.
The peak and decline of the group's popularity
In the 1980s, the group enjoyed incredible success. But towards the end of the 1980s, the so-called "crisis" occurred. The Dynamic group went out of sight for a while. The forced measure was to the benefit of the team.
Soon fans were enjoying new albums: "My Love", "Romeo and Juliet". The heyday of love lyrics - this is how this period can be characterized.
Rock gave way to love lyrics. In the 1990s, Kuzmin left the USSR and moved to America, where he recorded several albums.
Soon Vladimir Kuzmin returned to Russia, where he joined the Dynamic team. Most of the former soloists of the group went to conquer the United States, the other part worked with pop stars.
Vladimir Kuzmin wanted to restore the Dynamic group. He was looking for new musicians. Soon the team was replenished with such new soloists as: Sergey Tyazhin, Andrey Gulyaev, Alexander Shatunovsky and Alexander Goryachev.
In the late 1990s, Shatunovsky was replaced by Alexei Maslov. In the 2000s, the team was again on the wave of popularity. The Dynamic group toured, released new albums and video clips.
Music critics described the work of the Dynamic group as a good example of domestic rock with decent electronic arrangements and professional musicians in the composition.
The popularity of the Dynamic group is the merit of Vladimir Kuzmin. The musician took on the functions of a showman. The popularity of the group was confirmed by the fact that Russian pop singers created cover versions of the group's songs.
