Music is a means of communication. 24 bands from different corners of the world have taken part in the Creation of the World festival in the Republic of Tatarstan.
The 10-hour open-air festival drew 200,000 people to the Tatar capital Kazan.
The music marathon brought together musicians from the UK, America, Georgia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and France.
The main idea behind the festival was to gather people despite of different religions and nationalities as well as polar music genres, spanning from hard rock to ethnic music.
Manu Chao, Fun-Da-Mental, DDT and The Insight with Nino Katamadze in the lead were among the most highly-anticipated gigs at the music extravaganza.
During his turn, president of the festival Andrey Makarevich, leader of the Russian rock band Time Machine, performed a song in memory of Michael Jackson.

Poker in for Russian jackpotRussian gamblers, shocked by the new law restricting casinos to four remote regions of Russia, have been quick to find a loophole. Poker is officially classed as a sport, not a game, and can still be played anywhere. |

Deep Purple ordered to pay royalty to themselvesA Russian court has fined Deep Purple for “illegally” performing their own songs. Bloggers have already called the decision “fantastic in its idiocy”. |
There was once popular music which made sense and had lyrics,the present western music is for the monkeys to get hysterical and behave lke thier ancestors ie apes.,then there is the classiscs,and the great operatic singers ,thats pleasure.and then there is the cultural music handed down from generation .unfortunately some is dying out . sign of the times.The few western present day singers which became icons only a few, ,ABBA,Presely Jackson,Queen had all one thing in common ,they had lyrics and sound which one can assimmilate with.not the present jungle music we hear today.
