Nancy is a true legend. The musical composition "Smoke of Menthol Cigarettes" became a real hit, which is still very popular among music lovers.
Anatoly Bondarenko made a huge contribution to the creation and subsequent development of the Nancy musical group. Studying at school, Anatoly composes poetry and music. Parents note their son's talent, so they help in every possible way to develop his musical abilities.
History of group creation
Anatoly Bondarenko was born in the small town of Konstantinovka, Donetsk region. The date of birth of the great musician falls on January 11, 1966. He was an exemplary student. After attending school, the young man plunged headlong into the musical world.
The first attempts to create their own group came from Anatoly in 1988. It was in this year that he created his own musical group, which he assigned the original name of Hobby. A little time will pass, and Anatoly Bondarenko will release the album "Crystal Love". Anatoly was the author of all the songs on the first disc.
Until the end of 1991, the Hobby musical group traveled with their concerts throughout the Soviet Union. During the collapse of the USSR, Anatoly Bondarenko announces to his fans that the Hobby ceases to exist. The group broke up in 1991, but that was for the best.
Anatoly Bondarenko, despite the collapse of Hobby, dreams of creating another musical group. By that time, he had accumulated a lot of material to record new albums. But, before creating a musical group, it was necessary to find soloists and name the group.
There were no problems with the soloists. Now it's time for the formed group to choose the name of their team. As a result, they chose from 3 options: "Lyuta", "Platinum" and "Nancy".
Anatoly thought for a long time about how to name the group. Bondarenko admits to reporters that he even had to turn to bioenergy for help. He pointed out that if the soloists call the group Nancy, they will not fail, and great success will await them.
It was Anatoly Bondarenko who suggested calling the group Nancy. It's not just a pretty name. Anatoly associates good memories with this name. The name "Nancy" belonged to the musician's first love.
He met a girl Nancy in a pioneer camp. But they were not destined to be together. The day before leaving home, the young people quarreled, and each went to his own city without exchanging either an address or a phone number. In 1992, a new star was born in the music world - the musical group Nancy.
The composition of the musical group
Anatoly Bondarenko - became the founder and leader of the Nancy group. The second member of the musical group was Andrey Kostenko. Kostenko was born on March 15, 1971.
In 2004, a certain Arkady Tsarev became another soloist of the Nancy group. Arkady Tsarev did not go through any castings, and did not at all dream of becoming part of the Nancy musical group.
In 2004, the band played a concert for their fans. During the performance, a technical problem occurred, due to which Nancy's soloists had to leave the stage. So that the audience would not get bored, the management sent Tsarev to the stage so that he would support the mood of the audience and not let them get bored.
Arkady Tsarev was very well received by the public. And she did not want to let him off the stage. After that, the problems were fixed. Nancy continued to perform. After that, Anatoly began to receive questions during the autograph distribution, but is Arkady the new soloist of the musical group?
After signing an autograph, Andrei and Anatoly returned to the dressing room, where Tsarev was invited. They offered the young man a place in Nancy's group. He, of course, agreed.
But Arkady Tsarev was not part of the musical group for long. He left the group in 2006. His place was taken by the son of Anatoly Bondarenko - Sergey. The young man's childhood passed in a musical atmosphere, which left an imprint on Sergey's character and tastes - he became a professional musician.
Interestingly, the song of the musical group "Smoke of Menthol Cigarettes" united Anatoly Bondarenko with his future wife Elena. The couple met in a restaurant. Elena adored the presented musical composition, and came to this restaurant only because of it.
When Elena entered the hall, Anatoly sang the song "I painted you." Bondarenko himself recalls that as soon as he saw the girl, he immediately wanted to get acquainted. After a year of relationship, Anatoly and Elena decided to legalize their union. The couple played a modest wedding. Later, Elena Bondarenko will become the director of the Nancy group, and as it became clear, the couple will have a son, Sergei.
Music by Nancy
In the repertoire of the musical group there are various musical directions. But, of course, rock and pop prevail. As for the fans of creativity, the group is people of different ages and social strata.
The soloists of the musical group presented the first album to the public in 1992. The record received the thematic title "Smoke of Menthol Cigarettes". The technical work of sound recording was provided by the director of the LIRA studio, which was promoted at that time. The debut album was promoted by the Soyuz studio.
Two years later, the music of the Nancy group sounded on all radio stations. A year later, the musical signs an agreement with the then largest studio in the country, Soyuz, and the group releases the first laser disc.
Since 1995, the soloists of the group have been invited to take part in various television shows. For the founders of the programs, this is a chance to expand the audience, as they understood that Nancy's members were at the peak of their popularity.
In 1998 Ukraine was caught by the crisis. The economic crisis hit not only the wallets of the country's citizens, but also musicians and artists. However, Nancy is trying hard to stay afloat.
In 1998, the second album of the musical group was released, which was called "Fog, Fog". In the same year, the group goes on a tour of Siberia.
When Nancy's soloists returned to their homeland, they were informed that the Soyuz leadership had declared itself bankrupt. Accordingly, there could be no talk of recording a new disc.
At the time of 1998, most of the famous performers stopped appearing on TV screens. The band members did not want to leave the music, so they decided that they would be saved by concerts abroad.
From 1999 to 2005, Nancy recorded most of her albums. The soloists of the musical group do not forget about the clips. They have an official YouTube channel where they upload new work.
Death of Sergei Bondarenko
In the spring of 2018, the musical group performed at the Russian Fair in Germany. In the same year, the musical group organized an anniversary concert in honor of its anniversary. Nancy is 25 years old. Soloists traveled to major cities of Ukraine, with a concert program "NENSiMAN".
Sergey Bondarenko, the creator of Nancy, promised his fans that Nancy would spend a whole year on tour. But a great tragedy happened. Sergei is dead. He was only 31 years old.
