December 5 in Tskhinval, in the concert hall “Chermen” a solo concert of Ossetian pop stars took place - Albina и Fati Tsarikaevs. The name of the musical program is “Alans for an encore!” has become very relevant, because in 2017 the artists gave their first concert in this city, and all this time the public was looking forward to them:
“The audience of Tskhinvali is particularly warm,” comments Fati. “They are very hospitable people. I generally don’t like it when we are divided into dialects, into “subnations,” so to speak. We are all Ossetians, and in our work Albina and I always pursue and try to convey the message of unity and healthy patriotism. We believe that it should be present in any person who values his country, his homeland and his people. Almost all of our songs are about this – we express what worries us, what’s inside us.”
At the concert of the Tsarikayev sisters, among the admirers of their talent were well-known high-ranking guests. Among them is the President of the Republic of South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, with his family. At the end of the concert, he went on stage to the singers and, giving them flowers, expressed his emotions about the concert.
“Anatoly Ilyich said very pleasant words about our performance,” says Fati, “at the end of his speech he uttered a phrase in Ossetian, which in translation sounds something like: “how good you are!” This caused a storm of thunderous applause! We were very pleased to see him and his family in the hall, to know that he respects our work, and that he showed such respect and came to our concert.”
Now the sisters Tsarikaev are preparing a new program - it will be dedicated to their 20 summer anniversary on the stage. The concert of the artists of the residents and guests of Vladikavkaz and Nalchik will be able to attend, roughly, in April.
