Astemir Apanasov shot a video clip for his version of "Bella Chao"
The composition “Bella Ciao” is a hit throughout Europe. The Italian folk song received a new wave of popularity thanks to the TV series “La casa de papel”. She accompanied all the most important scenes in the show.
The Paper House has millions of fans all over the world, and the image of the characters wearing burgundy overalls and Salvador Dali masks has been used in many projects.
Today one of them presented Astemir Apanasov - the artist recorded his version of Bella Chao, making a mix of verses in different languages: Italian, Russian, Chechen and Kabardian, and also shot a video for this composition.
“I was inspired by this aesthetic of costumes and music, and I thought, why not throw these heroes into our mountains and sing the song “Bella Ciao” in our Caucasian rhythm? - says Astemir, - the video was directed by Magomed Kumykov, filmed by Murat Dzuev and Arsen Dyshekov. Of course, their camera work and ideological component made a huge contribution to this video.”
In contrast to the plot of the series about the robbery of the Mint, national musical instruments became the main prey of the kidnappers. Together with them, the heroes climb the mountains and dance lezginka to the incendiary music of KAVKAZ MIX "Bella Ciao".
Under the masks of Salvador Dali are the Nasyp ensemble and Nyurmuhammat Elekuev. To film the video, the film crew and project participants climbed Elbrus, to an altitude of 4500 meters.
“This was an incredible challenge for all of us,” says Astemir, “it turns out that without acclimatization it is impossible to be at such a height, and even more so - to dance and sing! We thought that we were just having fun, but oxygen starvation, “cotton” thoughts, and frozen limbs made themselves felt. It was difficult to hide it. But I hope this is not visible in the frame. All the guys gave it 100%, like on the last day of their lives! This is, of course, a sign of great professionalism.”
