Klava Penkova biography

Claudia Penkova: “During my studies, I broke three button accordions ...” Kava is the rising star of the Russian stage. As many Russian media write about her, a frisky and very direct girl. For three years now, she is a soloist of the vocal and instrumental al-Somb Matrech, who created with the support of the famous Bayanist and producer Sergei Voitenko from the Bayan Mix group.

Despite the young age, and the clavey is only 25, it has achieved success and gives the “soloists” not only in Russia, but also abroad. The team, in which today seven people, performs at government events. And recently, the soloist at the invitation of the Arena concert agency also visited Miass. Just 10 minutes before the start of the concert, our correspondent met with the ascending Russian pop star.

My name is Claudia Penkov. The name "Matrech" was invented by Sergey Voitenko. We met him in the year. When he saw us, he said: “This is not yet in Russia. I want this group to be mine. " Do you play on musical instruments? Favorite tool? For six years of study, I broke three button accordions. Sometimes folk motifs come to mind, but I am embarrassed to show them to someone, so so far they are all in my voice recorder.

And I play the button accordion only for myself. What did you like in the city? I liked the building of the recreation center, cozy. Chelyabinsk, I see. In Russia, solo concerts were only in Samara and Tolyatti. I think that in Samara the most complex viewers. I am from Samara. It seems to be hometown. But for me that audience is the most stringent. She has the following approach: “Well, come on, surprise us!

We make a “Cavera”, that is, we take beautiful melodies, process. Imagine the Brazilian ensemble sings Russian folk songs. We were in Paris, London, Egypt with concerts. Then Zurich, Budapest. They recently returned from Costa Rica. We are going to China. Songs from the repertoire of Olga Kovaleva are very interesting. In general, I love texts with spiritual content, but we do not have such.

But on the other hand, I am very envious of artists who have this opportunity, because there are “pluses” here when you give many concerts. For example, on December it can happen that there will be no vote. There are very educated people, cultural, they listen to different music. Young, beautiful when she is in Miass today, tomorrow on the train, then in Samara, and then in Moscow, then to China for a week.

He simply will not have time for me.

I need an active young man. On the button accordion, playing, with glasses, and so that there was a crest on his head. Prepared the shafty.
