Stepan Giga was a phenomenon of the Ukrainian stage.

People's Artist in the true sense of this word.

I seem to be walking along the corridor to channel 1+1, in my name - Igor Pelekh (in memory of this brilliant TV presenter?

- Yak do it?

- It’s fine - Come on in, I already have an office - it’s like.

I went into one of the rooms, sat at my desk, and fed:.

- What do you think about Stepan Giga?

- About whom? Tse hto? - I was amazed. And if it was 2007, maybe 2008, the popular television game of folk songs “Karaoke on the Maidan” was already released around 10 years ago!

- Listen to the story. Here, in Kiev, we created a concert agency. I phone my friends in Ternopil (Igor is originally from Ternopil), I say: “Guys, I can bring you some kind of star from Ternopil, which is another place/village. \! The people of Ternopil thought and said: “We really need to organize two stadium concerts in Ternopil by Stepan Giga! \? And the stench: “So there, in Kiev, all the people went out?

Igor nourishes:.

- So who is Stepan Giga, Kondratyuk You feel your song?

- No - I said honestly. - I don’t remember that Stepan Giga’s songs were sung in “Karaoke on the Maidan” or “Chances”.

“Well, be amazed,” Pelekh said, and turned on the video on his computer.. In the video, there is no one to tell me (like rubbish)! ) the singer, who was singing at the stadium, the stadium was completely sold out, and the whole stadium was singing together with him!

I'm awkward, you can say - a banal - melody, but with a welcoming, soulful Ukrainian lyric. Spivak did not show vocal skills, did not show off the range of his voice, did not compete with artistry on stage, but the whole stadium supported him. I didn't like it.

- Editor's note - having cheerfully pleased Igor, we settled on that.

One time, when I played Stepan Giga live - this summer, in Lvov, at the festival " Having finished “Karaoke on the Maidan”, we had a three-hour snack at “Rebern” behind the stage, and, skipping the audience, we walked to the car.

Stepan Giga was immediately stunned while standing before going on stage. I passed the order, nodding my head, and nodding at my confirmation. The audience began to shout and scream, singing the first song. I’m a little confused about what they’ll decide to do, as Stepan Giga speaks. He started with the song " And the whole festival started with your sleep!

Another Ukrainian talent in the spotlight.

Rest in peace, People's Artist of the singing people.
