"Daikiri" (band): composition, biography, songs

"Daikiri" - a group of two girls who, thanks to their perseverance and talent, have achieved recognition and great success. The peak of the popularity of the band came in the early 2000s. The main achievements of the duo was the creation of a song album and the receipt of numerous awards, which testify to the high ratings of the team. About the group "Daikiri" many fans still remember. And their songs can often be heard on the radio.

Childhood years of participants

Participants of the group - two Muscovites - Polina Tsvetkova and Katya Semenkova, who were friends from early childhood and grew up in one yard. After a while, Katya's family moved to Vladivostok, so the friendship continued only in letters. One day Polina received a message that Katya had returned to the capital on her own and wanted to meet. The girl at that time was already engaged in the children's collective "Class", which immediately arranged her childhood friend.

The team consisted of three more people, except for two girlfriends, who soon created a duet with the name "Daikiri". The "Class" group performed their performances most often under a phonogram. Despite the fact that the creative potential of the girls did not develop, the work in the team gave them a serious tempering of the character. After several years of touring life, Katya violated the charter and was expelled from the group. After the girlfriend Polina left too. After that, the girls had to build a career only through their efforts.

Creating a group

The creative duet, who recorded a demo version of the song "You Love Me," dreamed of doing it under the guidance of a professional who would help them arrange the work. A significant event for the girls was the acquaintance with Andrei Pryazhnikov, who at that time was already a fairly well-known producer and owner of a center dedicated to promoting little-known performers and collectives.

Choose a name

In the period of long searches of the producer, the girls began to earn money by leading in a nightclub. Their duties included daily entertainment of the public and a diverse cultural program. Since the imagination and actor's data of the girls allowed them to surprise and attract new visitors every time, they brought good work to their friends and liked them very much.

At first the girls wanted to name their duet Tatu, but at that time such a group already existed, and the girlfriends had to look for a new name. Once the name of the club's branded cocktail, where Katya and Polina worked, was sounded. After a moment's thought, they decided to stay on this name. Thus, the official biography of Daikiri begins in 2000.

The girls themselves explained their choice by the fact that the cocktail, consisting of a mixture of rum, juice and liquor, which is also a kind of love elixir, is very similar to the girls themselves. Such a light, tasty and lightly intoxicating drink completely corresponds to the character and mood of the creative team.

Shooting the first clip

After the success of the first song "You Love - Taish" "Daikiri", a group that quickly gained popularity and gained a crowd of fans, began to think about shooting a full-fledged video. Since the team did not have enough money for this, the clip had to be shot in a limited budget. The concept of the video was the use of only girls' lips in the frame. Filming film could be enough for only one take, so the girls did not have the right to make a mistake. They had a long time to train, so as not to spoil the clip. However, due to its persistence and desire to develop everything went perfectly.

Gaining Glory

After the release of the original and non-standard clip, the group "Daikiri", reviews about which began to spread with great speed in the press and on television, became very recognizable and popular. Their video for the song "You Love - Taye" took a pretty decent place in the rating of popular Russian videos.

After that, almost immediately there was a new musical masterpiece - "Caution". This clip also excelled in originality, as the audience could only observe the neck and chest of the girls. This cunning move helped to attract special attention to the team.

Many viewers expected the continuation of creative clips, which would remove only certain parts of the girls' body, but this time they were expected to have a completely different result. The Daiquiri group began working on a new song, and this time it was the song "Snowflake" Which was recorded in a duet with Dmitry Malikov. The musical masterpiece did not take long to wait and soon won all the music programs and awards.

At the same time, the group began to conduct an active touring life, visiting virtually every large city in Russia. "Daikiri", a group consisting of two girlfriends, performed many successful performances, many times performing on the same stage with the already known and beloved by all the stars. Thanks to their hard work and talent, the girls very quickly conquered many fans and gained stunning popularity.

Songs of the collective

In addition to the above-mentioned songs, the band released a whole series of works, many of which later became hits. Here are some of them:

• "Dad".
• "Doll".
• "Samba".
• "Folder, best friend."
• "Few".
• "Two tickets".
• "Fleeting."

To date, the group "Daikiri", whose composition has changed several times after the departure of Polina Tsvetkova, ceased to exist. In 2004, Pryazhnikov tried to bring back to life a once successful project, inviting two new girls, Natasha and Oksana. Then the song "Doll" for a while returned the collective to its former glory. But even in this group the group did not last long and soon disintegrated.
