On June 11th, the Platonov Arts Festival will host one of the most anticipated events of the forum - "World Music in the White Well". Artists from South Africa, Georgia, Turkey and Russia will take part in the concert.
We are pleased to announce the full line-up of participants of the open-air event "World Music in the White Well". The Georgian singer Megi Gogitidze and a team OTYKEN from Siberia will join the previously announced bands: The Soil from South Africa, whose style is defined as Kasi Soul and is an original mixture of jazz and Afro-soul with hip-hop and Afro-pop; and the team Light in Babylon from Turkey, performing the original Eastern Mediterranean music.
Megi Gogitidze is a singer and songwriter who has created her own unique style. Georgian ethnicity and soulful poetic lines are framed by modern sound ranging from folk and rock to jazz and dream pop performed by Cuban musicians.
Now Megi is known not only in her native Georgia, but all over the world. She has given sold-out concerts in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Baku, Yerevan, became the headliner on the main stage of the Wild Mint festival and went on a big tour to Russian cities. The title track of her album "Nu Geshinia" has over 22 million views on YouTube so far.
OTYKEN is a multinational band, which includes representatives of the indigenous peoples of Siberia. The team defines its style as "S-pop" (Siberian folk-pop music) - a combination of modern techno, R&B and rock rhythms with ancient melodies, throat singing and playing on giant deer skin drums. In 2021, the band became the winner of the international ethnic festival "Music of the World". OTYKEN songs in Chulym, Khakass, Dolgan and Russian languages are broadcast on the radio in different countries of the world.
