Over a thousand spectators listened with bated breath to the six-part folk harmonies; many recorded the performance on video, and then the hall erupted in applause&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">After the concert, in the dressing room, I asked the band&#8217;s founder and leader, Leonid Vorobyev, how he decided to present a folk song at a rock concert that mostly featured hits by the legendary band &#8220;Chicago&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve already performed it many times at concerts from California to New York. And the reaction is pretty much the same everywhere. People feel that the song comes from the heart. And it touches them&#8230; I wrote this music to the words of the wonderful contemporary poetess Yanina Sysoeva about twenty years ago. I expected it to be sung by Kolya Baskov, who often recorded with us, but it didn&#8217;t work out&#8230; So it just sat there. And then came the US tour. And for some reason, I thought: &#8216;Here we are delivering all this drive and rock, like the &#8220;Chicago&#8221; guys themselves say: a <i data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"581\">Rock Band with Horns<\/i>. What else can we do?&#8217; And I decided to give them a little bit of Russia in the middle of the concert. Since my first degree is in choral conducting\u2014I graduated from the Institute of Culture in Ulan-Ude (the capital of Buryatia \u2013 <i data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"832\">Author&#8217;s note<\/i>)\u2014arranging the song for vocal parts wasn&#8217;t a problem. And right after our first concert in the States, Americans started coming up to me, thanking me, and admitting that it brought tears to their eyes. Even though they didn&#8217;t understand a single word! But the intonation, the beautiful voices, the folk melodies\u2014that always astounds people.&#8221;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">The band &#8220;Leonid &amp; Friends&#8221; has been around for over 10 years. They are known both in Russia and abroad. But why such an unexpected name?<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">&#8220;You know, I decided to give myself a present for my 60th birthday when I was working at a Moscow recording studio,&#8221; recalls Leonid Vorobyev. &#8220;Many famous singers and musicians passed through my studio, so I decided to invite a few of them to sing my favorite song from my youth\u2014Chicago&#8217;s &#8216;Brand New Love Affair&#8217;\u2014together. I often helped many musicians in Moscow for free. I knew they wouldn&#8217;t turn me down. I wrote out all the sheet music. We recorded the song in the studio and filmed it all on video. It wasn&#8217;t even a music video! We posted it online. I did it just for myself. But suddenly, there were a lot of great comments online, including from America. They praised the musicians: &#8216;What an amazing drummer! What a trumpet player!&#8217; And we&#8217;re not used to that. In our country, all the audience&#8217;s admiration usually goes to the lead singer. Americans notice the skill and talent of everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Long story short, the project was noticed even on the band Chicago&#8217;s website. And then, in 2018, the US Ambassador in Moscow, Jon Huntsman\u2014also a keyboard player and a &#8220;Chicago&#8221; fan\u2014invited &#8220;Leonid &amp; Friends&#8221; to perform at the embassy&#8217;s Independence Day reception on July 4th, and wanted to play along with the band. After that came their first tour in Los Angeles, where the guests from Russia were offered three shows instead of one, because all the tickets sold out.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Now, &#8220;Leonid &amp; Friends&#8221; have toured every US state except Alaska and the two Dakotas. They&#8217;ve even flown to Hawaii three times. They&#8217;ve also been to Mexico, Canada, Germany, a jazz festival in Vietnam, and on a major tour across China.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">I should note that one of the band&#8217;s lead singers, Ksenia Buzina, fluently sings and speaks not only English but also Chinese. But, of course, that&#8217;s not the only reason for their success. Everywhere they go, Leonid Vorobyev and his fellow musicians are welcomed with open arms. After all, they speak the same language as their audience: the language of beautiful music, smiles, and friendship. And that is exactly what all of us, living in very different corners of the world, are missing so much right now.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">You can learn more about the band &#8220;Leonid &amp;
