New Year with Soviet VIAs of the 70s-80s : Special by BASIC – L’atelier de Musique Ep059

Anton Borisovich wishes our listeners a Happy New Year! Here you'll find that same Soviet groove, lyrics with juicy breaks, and guitar riffs. According to Anton Basic, the main goal of this compilation is to introduce the cultural phenomenon that emerged in the USSR at the turn of the 60s and 70s and became known as the VIA ("Vokal'no-Instrumental'nyy Ansambl" = vocal instrumental ensemble). It's difficult to describe the genre or style that underpinned the new episode of L'atelier de Musique, but if it brings a cheerful smile to your face and makes you want to dance, then you've understood its message! P.S. By the way, the playlist was compiled by Anton back in the late 90s and early 2000s! – it's time-tested.
