AveNue and Suprjadki

Estonia / Russia

This project came to life in the winter of 2004 when Vladimir Cherdakov (AveNue lyrics and music author) tried to perform a folksong together with Marina Kuvaitseva (the leader of Suprjadki). It did not take long until the other members of AveNue also tried to play and arrange folk tunes. Thus the idea to join the two ensembles – a folk choir “Suprjadki” and a rock ensemble “AveNue” – was born.

“Our creations can be characterized as soft folk-rock with less rock and more folk. Our repertoire comprises folksongs, often both in Russian and Estonian. Accordion and folk choir add to the feeling. Every song has its own story that we tell you before or after performing the song. Every song has its own character, each one of them lives their own life, we are only there to help them communicate with the listener. We only play what we like and the way how we see it. We do not limit ourselves. We think that our arrangements make those songs more accessible.”
