About the album
Initially, Krambambuly was going to release a single with four songs (“Bezalkalkolnaya Piva”, “Old Hіpani”, “Love” and “Hochash Piva”). While working on it, the idea came up to invite Sergei Mikhalka to sing “Old Hipans”. Mikhalok agreed and even brought his songs for the project (“Work”, “Nom”, “New Year”). Thus, work began on a full-fledged album. Alexander Kulinkovich sang the song "Marc Chalawek" [2] . The album also included the song "Gosi", which they could not finish for almost a year ("I wanted to do something like Manu Chao , there was a refrain, but it was not clear where to go along the text") [3] . According to Mikhalk, participating in Krambambul, he had to sing in the Belarusian language (previously Mikhalok sang in Russian, sometimes using tarsyanka ) and it was under the influence of Volsky that he began to include Belarusian-language songs in Lyapis Trubetskoy's albums [4] .
The album “ Belle ”, popular at that time, was also recorded for the album (performed by Volsky-Mikhalok-Kulinkovich) from the musical “ Notre-Dame de Paris ”. There was an idea to shoot a video clip. Mikhalkov was supposed to be a priest , and Kulinkovich was a hunchback . Due to copyright issues, it was decided to release an album without this composition, which could then be added to a re-release or released separately as a single. In the end, the copyright holder refused to grant rights to only one of this composition, but offered to redeem the entire musical as a whole. As a result, Krambambula had to abandon this song [2] [5] .
Before the recording of the song "Gosi" the main emphasis as a potential hit was placed on the song "I Love". A video clip was shot by Vladimir Markevich on it. Gunesh Abasova , a Belarusian singer of Azerbaijani origin, took part in the filming. “Mikhalok recorded his game in it, and then when he heard“ Gostsi ”he said right away that this one is even better ...”, Volsky recalls [3] . A video was also shot for the song "Gosi". The directors were Alexei Khatskevich and Matvey Saburov, known from the clips of Lyapis Trubetskoy. The newspaper “ Pressball ” suggested that famous Belarusian athletes be shot as “guests”. All athletes who were invited to take part in the shoot agreed. Thus, the video contains the cyclist Natalya Tsilinskaya , the swimmer Alexander Gerasimenya , the players Alexander Khatskevich , Alexander Gleb and Gennady Tumilovich [6] . Based on a survey of 90 experts, the Tuzin Gitok music portal ranked “100 Greatest Belarusian Songs”. The song "Gosi" entered this list under the 20th number [7] .
