<B>VERONIKA BULYCHEVA</B><BR>
Russien singer in Paris<BR>

A fusion of world music, jazz and russian romances
<BR>
Veronika Bulycheva was born in a small village in the Ural region of Russia. In 1992, she set out for France, her desire for liberty stronger than the ties to her home country. <BR>
She sings in Russian and in French, sometimes mixing both languages. Her lyrics describe simple scenarios in which the essential human emotions are lived out ; love, nature, nostalgia and exile are set to blues, pop, bossa nova, and even north African rhythms, all colored by jazz, classical and traditional Russian sonorities. Out of this mixture of influences grows a unique, beautiful music that transcends ideas of country and culture, and truly expresses the phrase “world music”, at home anywhere and everywhere.<BR>

“Veronika Bulycheva is bewitching. She often mixes a drop of into her love potions, making them even more potent. Behind the deep and savage voice, there are strivings of a soul haunted by a distant melancholy and a touch of bittemess, expressed with warmth, generosity and a candid innocence.”
Stéphanie Tesson (Paris, 2005)<BR>

“The Tchaïkovsky Museum’s concert hall was filled like never before, and from the very first chords of Veronika’s guitar, it began to vibrate; the audience was captivated by the magic of Veronika’s voice. No matter whether she was singing in French or in Russian, the essentiel was that each song was a little masterpiece”

«… Once heard, impossible to forget. Her voice, either burning, or sweet, her songs which balance between spicy humor and profound sadness, her total complicity with the public! …» Perspective (Marseille, 2005)
