December 14 at the Vegas City Hall in Moscow hosted the premiere of the Caucasus Express Music Festival, which brought together artists from the North Caucasus, South Russia, the near abroad and the CIS under one roof.
The multinational team presented the audience of the festival a grandiose variety show of a new format, held at a high European level.
The organizers of the performance were: general producer, author of the idea and project - Bela Umarova, general producer - Mehriban Jalilova, director - Ibragim Tsuraev, scriptwriters - Alla Boychenko and Bela Umarova.
Preparations for the event began with 5 in the morning: installation of the stage, installation of scenery, then a sound check. A lot of time and effort was spent on cooking, and therefore, when the beginning of the concert on the evening on the road leading to Vegas City Hall was nine-point traffic jams, and the hall turned out to be practically empty, the organizers and participants froze in slight panic, realizing that the show turned out on the verge of collapse ...
“It was such an extreme moment! We have to start at 19.00, everything is ready, and the hall is empty, - says Alla Boychenko, - a very stressful situation. But then a real miracle happened! We delayed the start for a very short time, and just in time for the start of the event, the auditorium was full! Everything was resolved in some magical way and then went just fine, in a very warm, friendly, one might say, home atmosphere. The new format, namely a variety show, which implies different genres numbers, fell in love with the public.
The concert was attended by: Makka Mezhiyeva, Tamara Yandieva, the Georgian group "Bani", the host Sarkis Aslanyan, a singer and actor representing Armenia, a humorous trio from Chechnya - Vakhid Ismailov, Askhab Dzhabrailov and Rudolf Mishaev, actress of the Central Democratic Republic theater, Rinatya Makarov Eldar Dzhanikayev, Astemir Apanasov, Larisa Sadikoeva, representing Ossetia, Amur Amerkhanov, participant of the Voice project Emil Kadyrov, popular drummer Igor Javad-Zade, as well as ensembles Ansar, Bart, Metekhi, Lekki and children's Alla Pugacheva's Recital Production Center Group.
According to the organizers, on this day, all the goals that they set for themselves were realized, but the most important thing that they managed to achieve was true national unity in the hall.
“We did not focus on each Republic separately, presenting the artists, and thus did not evoke feelings of rivalry in the audience. The audience received everyone equally warmly and joyfully. After the concert, we heard a lot of positive feedback and thanks addressed to us. Of course, we still have something to work on, we have a lot of ideas, but this is for the future. At the moment, taking into account all the technical delays and the important moment with traffic jams, this show was held at a high level! We will expand and improve all this, ”says Alla.

The audience that evening went home not only with wonderful impressions, but also with gifts: the iPhone X, a trip to Paris, and gift certificates from sponsors were raffled off. And the event ended with a soulful song-anthem of the same name “Caucasian Express” written by the poet Ibragim Vadelov and composer Eldar Dzhanikaev.
Next, the Caucasus Express will go to St. Petersburg. But it will be next year ...
In the meantime, we suggest listening to the anthem of the "Caucasian Express"
