Nepara is a colorful musical group. The duet's life, according to the soloists, is similar to the series "Santa Barbara" - emotionally, vividly and with a significant number of different long-known stories.
The history of the creation and composition of the Nepara group
The performers of the musical group Alexander Shoua and Victoria Talyshinskaya met back in 1999. Vika worked as an artist of the Jewish theater "Lechaim", and Sasha performed in Germany under a contract with one of the largest labels PolyGram.
The first acquaintance of Alexander and Victoria happened on the birthday of her husband. At the party, Sasha and Vika got used to the role of actors so much that they entertained the invited guests all evening.
Victoria and Alexander decided to turn the educated duet into a musical group. Future stars turned to the producer of the Russian artist Leonid Agutin, Oleg Nekrasov, for help. The guys met Nekrasov at the Lada Dance festival.
Oleg Nekrasov introduced the Nepara team to the public in early 2002. Nekrasov did not think about the name of the team for a long time. The fact is that Victoria and Alexander constantly argued on working topics, so one day Oleg said: “You are not at all a couple to each other!”.
The actors are really funny. A short bald young man looks very funny against the background of Victoria with model parameters.
The soloists of the musical group also say that, in addition to differences in appearance, they have different tastes and views on life in general.
Alexander is quick-tempered and emotional. He can throw things when he's nervous and say rude things. Victoria is very reserved. Despite this, it is she who is the ideological inspirer of the hits that came out from the pen of the Nepara group.
Sasha believes that the ideal union is when you don’t have to apologize, sort things out. A woman was created for wisdom and smoothing out the conflict, however, according to Alexander, you never know what is on their minds.
Despite the fact that the soloists are different, their tastes in music and in understanding their creative goals coincided. For the first time, the existence of a musical group was learned in 2012.
For 10 years, only those who are far from pop music have not heard the group's hits. The soloists of the musical group toured not only in the territory of their native state, but also abroad.
The group's tracks occupied leading positions in the Russian music charts. The band has released three full-length albums. In addition, they did not forget to replenish the videography with new clips.
“Solo swimming” by the Nepara group
The initiator of the collapse of the musical group was Shoua. Right at one of his performances, the singer announced that he was going on a solo "swimming".
According to Victoria, until the last moment she did not believe that their duet had broken up, although relations within the team were tense.
In one of her interviews, the singer said that they had an affair with Alexander. It was after the end of a love relationship that Shaw wanted to become a solo singer.
Everyone started building a solo career. However, neither Alexander nor Victoria could achieve the popularity that they enjoyed in the Nepara group.
Nepara return
Sasha took the first step towards reconciliation. It took less than a minute for Victoria to say "yes" to Shaw.
After the reunion of the musical group, the Nepara group went on a big tour, which dragged on for three months.
According to Alexander, together with Victoria, they visited such outback places that they had previously only seen on TV. After the tour, the group presented the video clip "A Thousand Dreams".
There were no changes in his personal life. Victoria crossed the threshold of the registry office for the third time. The artist Ivan Salakhov became the chosen one of the singer. The couple has a daughter, Barbara. Sasha married lawyer Natalya, in 2015 he became the father of a daughter, whom he named Taya.
It is noteworthy that the ardor between the soloists of the group has completely cooled down over time. Victoria and Alexander are family friends. As the soloists noted, the musical composition "Sweetheart" became a symbol of family happiness for both.
Music of the Nepara band
The debut disc of the Nepara group, which was called The Other Family, went platinum in 2003. The musical composition “Another Reason,” as Alexander told him, tells him a lot.
Each song performed by the soloists of the Nepara group is a reflection of what is happening in a person's life. Sasha had difficult moments in his life, which he conveyed in the lyrics.
The track "Autumn" is a cover version of the Sunny hit by the musical group Boney M. The performers practically did not change anything in the song. However, the sound of the trumpet and violin is clearly audible in the recording.
The show admits that it was very difficult for him to memorize the song "Fun". While the song was being recorded in the studio, Sasha each time asked Victoria to remind him how the next verse begins.
"Fork" is the fruit of the joint work of the singer and businessman Eldar Talyshinsky, who shortly before became Vika's husband. In the studio version, even the musicians of the group had to sing the musical composition "Take off".
In 2006, the soloists of the group presented their second studio album, Everything First. The musical group did not depart from the topics of love, difficult relationships, loneliness, relationships between a man and a woman, beloved by many fans.
Music critics noted that the second album turned out to be much "fatter". But Alexander was not entirely satisfied with the second studio album, saying that the first brainchild is his soul, experiences and lively emotions.
The second album gave fans such musical compositions as “Cry and look”, “God invented you”. In the track "Seasonal", critics saw notes that are inherent in the repertoire of the musical rock band "Gaza Strip".
The musical composition "Run, Run" for the duet was written by Alexei Romanof (a former member of the Amega and Vintage groups) and Artur Papazyan.
Vika did not immediately approve of this work, since the song was too different from previous works. The guys recorded the video clip for the song “Run, Run” in just an hour.
The director of the video clip was the popular Vlad Razgulin. Vladislav "sculpted" a video for the stars of the national stage. The producer decided to use footage from the camera, which was in Victoria's dressing room. The work turned out to be very rewarding.
In the video clip "Cry and Look", the soloists of the "Nepara" group had to act in a hot scene. Later, Victoria spoke about the fact that despite the fact that she has a huge experience of working on stage behind her, she was very shy of her partner and other participants in the site.
Alexander was satisfied with the work. He said it was a good experience for him.
The guys have been recording the third album "Doomed / Betrothed" for more than three years. The soloists of the group explained that they chose the "quality" stuffing for the disc.
In addition, from a commercial point of view, releasing a third album was unprofitable, since the previous two were sold with a bang.
Answering the classic question of journalists “What song would you single out?”, Victoria mentioned the track “Home”, and Sasha - a brilliant song, according to him, “Honey”. For three years, Alexander was in search of poems for the melody he wrote.
Interestingly, Alexander recorded the notes for the track "Director" in the toilet of the plane. Shaw did not leave the toilet for half an hour. And when he left the restroom, he apologized, showing the passengers of the plane the recorded notes on paper.
Nepara Group today
In 2017, the Nepara group took a break. It was a forced vacation, which was associated with the birth of a child in Victoria's family.
After the holidays, the soloists of the musical group decided to resume the tour. The performers did not forget to update the concert program. Now they performed with the program "Another Life".
In 2018, the musical group opened a sold-out concert in St. Petersburg on the stage of the Oktyabrsky Grand Concert Hall. In winter, Russian performers presented the single "Become an Ocean". The author of the poems was Ira Euphoria.
In 2019, the Nepara group gave a 30-minute live concert for listeners of the Avtoradio radio. The soloists of the group delighted fans of creativity with their old and new hits.
