— What, in your opinion, are the advantages of Caucasian music?

— The advantages of Caucasian music are precisely that it is based on national motives. And national motifs are almost always the sounds of an accordion, a doula, or the same shichepshin. For residents of the North Caucasus, these melodies are closer and dearer. As they say, your own shirt is closer to your body. And yet, probably each of us, being somewhere far from the North Caucasus Federal District, hearing Caucasian music, immediately remembers home and immediately becomes warmer in our souls. And if it’s an incendiary lezginka, then you immediately want to hit the dance floor, even if you don’t know how to dance and there’s no dance floor nearby. Therefore, for me personally, the advantage of Caucasian music is that it is associated with our small homeland.

— What is your favorite song on the Caucasian stage? Why?

— Now this, of course, is Adler Kotsba’s sensational hit “Scent of a Woman.” Despite the fact that this music was heard everywhere - at work, around the city, in cafes and even on vacation abroad, it does not get boring. In my opinion, you can both feel sad and “have a blast” with this song; in general, one might say, it’s universal. Maybe that's why she's so popular?

— Which Caucasian performers do you listen to?

— I’m probably lying if I say that I’m a fan of Caucasian music. But I work on TV, and often Caucasian performers become heroes of our programs. And, naturally, when preparing for interviews with those who will come to our studio or potential guests, I get to know the work of each of them. And I can say with confidence that we have many talented performers. I would really like to see it in my program Alexandra GumaI think he is one of the brightest and most talented artists of North Caucasian variety art. Alika Bogatyreva - our colleague and a wonderful artist, who, in my opinion, can not only sing well, but also give herself on stage. Astemir Apanasov, Cherim Nakhushev, Fatima Kitaeva, Tatyana Tretyak. ... You can list many!
