Boris Grebenshchikov in Cologne. BG+ 28 January 2025

Boris Grebenshchikov is going on a concert tour with a new program, which will include a new album BOGRUKINOG and the best songs of "Aquarium" of all times.
BG+ emerged in the year of Aquarium's 50th anniversary, when the band had to cease its activity in 2022. In addition to BG, the new lineup includes keyboardist Konstantin Tumanov, bassist Alexander Titov, percussionists Liam Bradley and Gleb Grebenshchikov, flutist Brian Finnegan and violinist Andrei Surotdinov.
BG+ began giving concerts in March 2022, and each performance by the musicians has become another statement against war.
The new BG+ mini-album BOGRUKINOG came out completely unexpectedly - there were no pre-announcements or announcements. The album includes four songs "Don't Stand Above Your Soul, Mama", "Black Swan", "Unforgotten", "Minsk Pinsk and Severodvinsk".
These songs were written by Grebenshchikov after a very long break. As the musician himself said, after the beginning of events in Ukraine he could not write for a long time.
BOGRUKINOG became one of the most powerful anti-war statements of the last year and a half. The songs from this mini-album are actually a story about modern Russia and the war it unleashed.
In addition to songs from the new album, Grebenshchikov and BG+ will perform the most beloved by their fans and the best songs of the legendary "Aquarium" at the upcoming concerts.
