Basta about Kazan: "It reminds me of both Rostov and St. Petersburg at the same time: the architecture, the atmosphere."

      In Kazan at the "Ak Bars Arena," a concert by Basta (Vasily Vakulenko) is currently taking place. More than 40,000 spectators have gathered — this is an absolute record for Tatarstan. Guf, Ramil, Mona, MakSim, and the group "Room of Culture" will sing with Basta at the concert. The rapper also promised the audience a surprise today — a collaboration with a Tatar artist. "It's nice to say: we performed in Tatarstan for the first time 19 years ago," the artist reflected before journalists. "I am one of the ambassadors of Kazan, even though I am not from here. It reminds me of both Rostov and St. Petersburg at the same time: the architecture, the mood." Basta admitted that he feels no anxiety about the concert, but he lacks such confidence when it comes to journalists. Guf then came out and said that his song is almost at the very end. "How will I cope with stress? Pray to all the gods and drink," the artist was succinct. Basta's PR director, Natalia Mestakova, noted that there are more than 40,000 spectators at the "Ak Bars Arena" today. "An hour ago, it was sold out. This is an absolute record for Tatarstan," she stated.

      Basta's first stadium concert at the "Ak Bars Arena" in Kazan took place on June 9, 2024. It gathered more than 25,000 people.
