Modern-day bards?

Sat Oct 12 08:14:33 UTC 2013

Two music venues, actually.  

Ive actually been on a capercaillie hunt, a long time ago.

Anyone remember Dennis Wards Starting Russian? It had a passage on
hunting, which mentioned capercaillies.

Scots maintains the spelling capercailzie

The Irish form is borrowed from Scottish Gaelic.

I still remember being surprised at the passage in Genevra Gerhart:  And
the chances are that capercaillie means nothing to someone who has just
looked up gluxar in the dictionary, although s seconds reflection told
me why this should be so..

Lorenzs Jagdwörterbuch Russisch-Deutsch has one on the front cover

Meanwhile, not a capercaillie, but the last great auk on St Kilda was killed
on suspicion of being a witch

Fascinating Robert.  I have never been a frequent user of either the word
glukhar' or capercaille, but I made the association between 'caillie' and
'cailleach' (Irish Gaelic for witch) and not 'coille' (forest) and presumed
that both the Russian and anglicised Gaelic words must have referred to a
horrible sound the bird possibly makes.  I would never have associated caper
with 'capall' (modern Irish Gaelic for horse), though.  
Does the word glukhar' have any positive or negative associations in
Russian?  To me as a non-native speaker, it seems negative, but a music
venue has chosen it as its name ...

And I cant help noting that gluxar in Gaelic is capull-coille 
Capercaillie  which some  of us should recognise

Dear Emily,

Another somewhat more recent bard is Alexander Litvinov, better known as
Venya Drkin. He died early but left a growing fan base, and he represents
something of a post-bard use of the genre, with a pronounced rock
influence, which could be a good addition to the more traditional Gnezdo
gluharia sort of form. Oh, and maybe Kim for a more humorous take on the
genre?

Best wishes,

Eugenia

I know it's maybe a bit old, but have you tried Viktor Tsoi and Kino?  I
discovered recently that he's still an icon amongst young Russians even
today when I was treated to a verse of 'Pachka Sigaret' by a group of 18 -
22 year old - a sort of Kurt Cobain figure.

concerts by younger artists as well as by representatives of the older
generation such as Veronika Dolina and Alexander Dolskii.

He's struggling a bit with his study of Russian, and I'd like to jump-start
him a bit by pointing to some artists that he could listen to in Russian.
But the only bard-poets/acoustic guitar musicians I'm aware of are from the
90's and earlier (Mityaev, Vystotsky, Okudzhava, Bashlachyov). Anyone know
of any artists that'd be closer to him in age that play acoustic guitar? And
that samples of their songs can be found somewhere out there on the
internet?
