For example, during the opening of the Olympic Games. The unexpected decision was suggested by the group "Akvafon» (Kazakhstan-Russia), which recorded intersong "Give me a hand» (music and lyrics by Oleg Belov). Words of welcome sound in 43 languages in the song. This is a new record worthy of Guinness Book of Records. The previous highest achievement is also done by "Akvafon". Six months ago, the band created the song "Don’t Say Goodbye» (music by Alexander Belonosov, lyrics by Oleg Belov). The word "see you" sound in 31 languages in this song. ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/Fw0RoL9K6v8d79zBFa4DZWVFM45t1D.jpg) Recording of the song "Give me your hand" carried out at the studios "North Wind" and "Soul Major" and was dedicated to the Brazilian Olympic Games, so the style of bossa nova was chosen for it. By the arrangement of the song were involved Almaty known musicians - virtuoso playing contrabass Eduard Dvuhimenny and brilliant pianist Dmitri Sevostyanov. Refrains sound in Portuguese, English and Russian languages. Played the leading female singer Evgeny Gubanov parties and Nargiza Zholymbetova not only demonstrated their temperamental vocals, but also created a spectacular jazz back vocals. Olga Nagaeva flashed his romantic recitative. Both songs - "Give Me A Hand" and "Don’t Say Goodbye" have already been sent to the National Olympic Committees of Kazakhstan, Russia and Brazil. ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/9GLjYSQbc0BA96dYq64bGhf023gGjU.jpg) "We tried to achieve linguistic accuracy, - says the producer group, Ali Babayev. - We are grateful to our friends who have helped in the translation of the text. The well-known bossa nova singer, musician Roman Lankin during his concert in Almaty hall Newton introduced us to Sergei Bondartsev, a great admirer and follower of the Brazilian genre. Sergei not only translated the refrain of the song "Give me your hand" in Portuguese, but also check it with his friends from Rio de Janeiro. Gale Griffin - pianist from Tucson (USA, Arizona) helped us to make refrain translation into English. By the way, Tucson –is a sister city of Almaty. ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/2BMyT8nf17LmzIMDK5lg6VR81N3vLs.jpg) We are also not without the help of friends in the creation of the song "Don’t Say Goodbye." Our people in America - Xenia Karetnikova Maryland (she participated in the recording of the song "My Motherland Kazakhstan") and Gauhar Nurtas California (organizer of "Tengri: Kaleidoscope of Cultures" festival in Hollywood) helped us to make English refrain. Translated into Chinese made by Jing Yu Ma, our Chinese friend from New York. Kazakhstan plays a consolidating role in the world and holds a number of international forums. Suffice it to recall the forum of world religions, SCO, EurAsEC, OSCE. This year, our country became a member of the UN Security Council. At the beginning of 2017 it will host the Winter Universiade. We hope that intersongs of "Akvafon" group will contribute to the strengthening of friendship between peoples". "Akvafon" band's songs were heard not only in the Kazakh and Russian radio stations, but also in China (China Radio International - CRI) and the US (KXCI Radio, Arizona). ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/s3KoDHc1w66l6D02lPJGzl2Dt4mrk3.jpg) **Evgeny Gubanova**, singer of "Akvafon" group: "It is time to unite people. And the songs can play a part in this. We respect all countries and reach out worldwide. Az our fathers sang " Youth sings song of friendship. Nobody stifle, kill this song. " ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/0suKSj3dkjAnBf3E3WXzwB0CTsZ6M4.jpg) **Oleg Belov**, one of founders of "Akvafon" group: "When we with Pavel Aksenov conceived the “Akvafon” group, we decided to dive in each album in a certain culture. It is a kind of neo-folk. The first CD "Songs of Wise Chukchi" we dedicated music of northern peoples. Clip "Titicaca" from it, which created Julius Levitsky, bypassed many countries. Now we are finishing two albums, which are devoted to Kazakhstan ("Sky Nomad") and Russia ("Shepherd of Clouds"). ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/s7ZLE0vd910k00Xq6CG15SBakEVsC7.jpg) But we also decided to create a few songs with sound of the world. Kazakhstan is multicultural country like Russia, USA, Brazil. We think that these songs reinforce bridges between different nationalities. " ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/kYnesFBYcpd1Aolq5gwzUvGkijj7Zh.jpg) **Olga Nagaeva,** singer of "Akvafon" group, Student Advanced Directing Courses in Moscow: "Two years ago, in collaboration with Vitaliy Dvoretskiy and Oleg Belov I created kinonovell «Juliet In Retirement». I purposely conceived this film without words, in order to make it clear in all countries. This film is about the lack of good and love very well received. It has received four prizes at festivals in New York (New York Eurasian Film Festival), Zagreb, Yaroslavl and Samara. Intersongs of "Akvafon" group is an example of the same series, but a different kind. This is the lyrics, which are clear on all continents and are easily overcome any boundaries. " ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/oFD0R4NP4no8T9ebS6WsNGEapjwqg9.jpg) **Alexander Belonosov**, Moscow composer-songwriter and arranger: " «Akvafon» group became a godsend for me. This all-consuming love of the world inspired me immediately, because I always had the idea to create a music aimed at bringing people together. And the fact that the group consists of talented musicians and singers from Kazakhstan and Russia, the more pushed me to cooperate with them. I think “Akvafon" will realize many ideas and not once surprise you!" ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/4XwWRMF8dLMBKs5AR7UV7H2aY9reIc.jpg) **Giza** **(Nargiza Zholymbetova),** singer of "North Wind" group: "I had to sing for the first time in Portuguese. It is very handsome. It sounds in one refrain in the song "Give Me A Hand." And I'm glad that it happened in the year, when Portugal won the European football championship, while Brazil takes the Summer Olympics. We have already sent this song to Brazil. We hope that our "Salem" hear our athletes, and this will help them to perform successfully. " ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/1ffeX3r37YJP3yeYCV1LJyOUaeqkLO.jpg) **Edward Dvuhimenny**, leader of "North Wind" group: "We must honestly admit that in the world there are forces that sow discord among nations. They seemed to rock the planet, arrange colored coups, fomenting armed conflicts. Even the sport becomes a victim - a confrontation added doping war. It is a pity that modern politicians have forgotten the covenant of the ancient Greeks, who stopped all wars at the Olympics. Unfortunately, different parts of the world heard the explosions on the eve of the Games in Brazil. We recorded the song "Give Me A Hand" to ensure that people only heard the shots in sports shooting galleries. " ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/4AGob2B5eNoFM5B1rfO6LHZFWk5kPj.jpg) **Natalia Borovaya,** chief editor of "Wind Of Wanderings" magazine: "Kazakhstan is located in the center of the Silk Road, so there are always many languages sounded here. We are very pleased that intersongs of "Akvafon" group were first presented at the festivals "Okunkol" and "Wings of Alakol" that we spend on the Alakol lake in the "Pelican" center near the ancient caravanserai. Moreover, the film director Vitaliy Dvoretskiy took clips on these songs, which were attended by many guests of the festival. We noticed that Alakol lake not only heals, but also inspires. Clips "Alakol" and "My Motherland Kazakhstan" for the album "Sky Nomad" of "Akvafon" group were shot there. The premiere of the video for the song "Give Me A Hand" will be held on September 10 during the "Okunkol" festival. “ ![Akvafon — The whole world in one song](https://storage.yvision.kz/images/user/alen_barre/T1dCGQS3I87u1tSah9bsIJW64Rln6t.jpg) **Link to the song "Give Me A Hand”** https://soundcloud.com/obelov/akvafon-give-me-a-hand **Link to the song "Don’t Say Goodbye»** https://soundcloud.com/obelov/akvafon-dont-say-goodbye-ne-govori-proshchay   **Clip** **"Don’t Say Goodbye»**: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTOnYGItOm4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTOnYGItOm4) The most popular clip of "Akvafon" - "Titicaca" (Music by Paul Aksenov, lyrics by Oleg Belov).
