about

"Kudesa" completes the cycle of four albums of the project OPYCHAM (“Orus Ham”), the solo project by the drummer of the Tuvan world music legend YAT-KHA, Zhenya “Rasputin” Tkachev.

The name OPYCHAM actually reveals the name of the author, received from Tuvan shamans - Orus Ham, which means "Russian shaman".

The album's title also has deep mystical roots. "Kudesa" is a term that comes from pre-Christian times, when sorcerers and magicians (ancient Russian pagan priests) performed their magical rites, invoking Spirits and asking them about a peaceful life for peasants. As in many other pagan rites, one of the essential attributes is the shamanic drum, which the ancient Slavs also called Kudes.

The history of album deserves special attention. In early 2017, Zhenya celebrated his 60th birthday, and in the process of the encounters with friends, the idea arose to go on an expedition to the winter Altai Mountains, to make audio field recordings for a future new album.
So in the snow-capped mountains of Altai, in the Yurt Camp "Tydtuyaryk" Zhenya finally met his old friend, the famous Altai musician Bolot Bairyshev, as well as other inhabitants of the yurt camp.
The resulting recordings were successful, and a year later, at a Moscow studio, Zhenya completed the missing fragments with the help producer Alexei Denisov (KM Studio).
