Kino is one of the most legendary and representative Russian rock bands of the mid-1980s. Viktor Tsoi is the founder and leader of the musical group. He managed to become famous not only as a rock performer, but also as a talented musician and actor.
It would seem that after the death of Viktor Tsoi, the Kino group could be forgotten. However, the popularity of the musical group only increased. In megacities and small towns, there is rarely a wall on which there would be no inscription “Tsoi, alive!”.
The band's music remains relevant to this day. The songs of the musical group can be heard on the radio, in movies and at rock "parties".
Famous musicians sang Viktor Tsoi. But, unfortunately, they failed to maintain the “mood” and the original presentation of the soloist of the Kino group.
The composition of the group "Kino"
Even before the creation of the musical group "Kino" Viktor Tsoy was the founder of the Chamber No. 6 group. He developed the first team, but, unfortunately, Tsoi's efforts were not enough. Then he first thought about creating a new group.
Oleg Valinsky, Alexey Rybin and Viktor Tsoi soon combined their talent and strength and created a group with the original name "Garin and the Hyperboloids". At that time, Viktor Tsoi already had some developments, which formed part of the group's repertoire.
The Garin and Hyperboloids group did not last long. Someone was taken into the army, the drummer refused to be in the group. And Viktor Tsoi, without thinking twice, left for the capital with Rybin. Later, the guys realized that this decision was the right one.
Choi and Grebenshchikov
In the capital, the guys began to perform in clubs and various rock festivals. There they were noticed by the leader of the Aquarium group, Boris Grebenshchikov, who took part in the development of the Kino group.
Boris Grebenshchikov became a producer and "father" for the guys. It was he who, in 1982, suggested that Tsoi and Rybin create a new Kino team.
After the creation of the group, it remained to recruit musicians. The remaining tasks in the team were solved by Viktor Tsoi. Soon new members joined the team - Valery Kirillov, Yuri Kasparyan and Maxim Kolosov.
Conflicts in the Kino group
A little later, serious conflicts began to occur between the leaders of the Kino group. Rybin was very angry with the fact that Tsoi decided all the organizational issues on his own. A year later, the young people decided to leave, and each went on his own creative "swimming".
After Rybin left, Tsoi performed with acoustic concerts. During this period, Choi released his first album "46". A little later, the group included Guryanov and Titov. It was this composition that the “fans” of the Russian rock band remembered.
The musical group was not so bright if it were not for Viktor Tsoi, who "pulled" the group on his shoulders. For a short musical career, he was able to become an idol for all rock fans.
Music group "Kino"
Viktor Tsoi presented his first debut album in 1982. The album was called "45". Tsoi and music critics noted that the tracks included in the disc were very "raw" and needed serious improvement.
Despite the fact that music critics and Viktor Tsoi were not enthusiastic about the debut album. And the "fans", on the contrary, were imbued with every track of the disc. The popularity of the Kino group increased not only in Russia, but also outside the country.
After recording his debut album, Viktor Tsoi recorded a number of compositions at the Maly Drama Theater. However, the soloist of the Kino group did not show these songs to the public, but hid them in a long box.
After death, these songs were found, even published under the title "Unknown Songs of Viktor Tsoi."
Album "Head of Kamchatka"
In 1984, Viktor Tsoi presented to the public his second album "Head of Kamchatka".
Interestingly, this album is included in the summary of 100 Soviet rock magnetic albums by Alexander Kushnir. The title is a reference to the Soviet film The Head of Chukotka.
A year later, the album "Night" was released, and in 1986 the collection "This is not love" was released. Then the Russian rock band has already taken its rightful place in the metropolitan rock "party" and the hearts of millions of music lovers.
The tracks of the presented albums were filled with lyrics and romance. They were dreamy and very inspiring.
As music critics note, the compositions of the Kino group have changed a lot since 1987. Viktor Tsoi abandoned the usual manner of performance. The music was audible harshness, harshness and steel character. The musical accompaniment has shifted towards minimalism.
During these years, the Kino group began cooperation with the American singer Joanna Stingray. It was this American performer who introduced the music lovers of the United States of America to the work of the Russian rock band Kino. The singer released a double disc, which was dedicated to the Russian musical group.
The American performer strongly supported young talents. She donated the studio, and even helped in the creation of high-quality video clips - “We saw the night” and “Films”.
Viktor Tsoi "Blood Type"
In 1987, the most legendary album of the rock group "Blood Type" was released. After the release of the collection, the guys met Belishkin, who organized a series of concerts on the big stage for the Kino group. In addition to performances in the Russian Federation, the musicians performed in America, France and Germany.
In 1988, the group devoted themselves to concerts. The musical group traveled around the Soviet Union. The group gained popularity thanks to the film "Assa", where the song "Change!" sounds at the end. Viktor Tsoi literally woke up popular.
In 1989, Viktor Tsoi delighted fans with his new album, A Star Called the Sun. The recording of this album was created at a professional recording studio, which was provided by the performer Valery Leontiev.
Group "Kino" and Yuri Aizenshpis
In the early 1990s, the Kino group fell into the hands of the talented Yuri Aizenshpis. The acquaintance turned out to be incredibly productive, the musicians gave several concerts a day.
Their popularity has increased thousands of times. And Viktor Tsoi was preparing to record a new album, but fate decreed otherwise.
On August 15, 1990, the leader of the Kino group died in a car accident. The death of the idol greatly shocked the band members and fans. To this day, various concerts are organized in honor of Viktor Tsoi.
You can learn more about the leader of the Kino group from the biography film Summer (about the life, hobbies, work of Viktor Tsoi). The film was presented in 2018, the main role in the film was played by Korean Theo Yu.
