(Reggae magazine “SE LA” № 12 may 1999)

 

What for you music reggae?

Hesha: REGGAE is our attempt to look at the world and to express the attitude to this world. You understand, we yet so well play to look at other musicians as on the competitors, contenders. We simply look, we study, take a great interest

 

When you have begun to play reggae? From what all began?

Sunjah: there Has arrived once such person by name Hesha and has given me to listen to Komitet Ohrani Tepla . And I was simply pinned on their songs. Then, is farther - more: groups the Vihod,Ostrov, JAH DIVISION. this music has very strongly liked. So has liked, that I have decided to play something similar. And that leave may judge itself.

 

And how you think, reggae - progressive music?

Sunjah: I do not know, whether progressive, but that she actual is yes.

Hesha, I look at you, on Sunjah. Creative enough people. Whether were at you before what - or projects?

Hesha: I participated in several festivals in Ekaterinburg in structure of group RDL. For example, in festivals " Ural - Rock 96 ", " the Way without a dope ". There were pleasures, the prize - two packings of coca-cola (for the second place), set of club concerts

 

Well, probably, and all was.As far as I know, Sunjah, you too had group.

Sunjah: Yes is not present, was not. More truly, was, but not I there was the leader. And the group (she, by the way, referred to as the Sever 13) was far from guitar music. I was simply tortured by all something to prove. In result has spat upon all and began to be engaged in that to me to like that is to play reggae.

 

And you love what season?

Hesha: I love red - green solar summer when even at us in Russia it is very warm, sun and it is possible to listen reggae.

 

And how you think, whether can Rasta get accustomed and survive in Russia?

Hesha: I do not know. For someone it  fetish, for someone religion, for someone reggae. The finds everyone in it. For me it is religion plus reggae plus Rasta.

 

And on what you play? I so have understood, on what have got. And drank is at you?

Hesha: No, with a saw we while ... Well you know, it already flights aside psichodelic. We for the beginning want to learn in general to play any music to fulfil engineering. We you see not professional musicians. To have to study, work, in something else to be engaged, and at leisure to play music.

Sunjah: In technical sense we in general in full dung. We play on "Ural", shock is not present, the board is not present. Even with strings - and that a problem. More shortly, full poverty.

 

I know such parable, that you, Hesha , ostensibly communicated under the Internet with the leader of group Jah Division - Gero...

Hesha: I not that that communicated particularly with the Gero, have simply found site Jah Division in the Internet. Well go on their pages with the great pleasure. Has seen author's texts with coments. In - general, it was pinned.

 

And how reggae influences your life?

Sunjah: Yes if it is fair, reggae me interests only by way of music. All the same as the punk - rock influences the punk. That is there is any ditails... But I not Rastaman, I - orthodox, the christian.

 

By the way, about the punk - rock... your texts, Sunjah, might execute with ease and punk - group. To what it is connected?

Sunjah: And I also am the punk. Simply punk - fate as it is regrettable, all the same dead. And reggae it is alive and will live still long., for example, songs Oldy the punk - group too might execute. I in general listen only so-called " to Russian reggae". Truly radical - I do not like. Well, may, only the Bean of the Gauze.

 

Why all the same the Shkolnoe Solnce (School Sun)?

Sunjah : I don't no . Simply sounds fanny. Was, the truth, idea to be named " Son for hole Sun ", but it somehow is confused. When denominated, knew precisely, that the word "sun" should be necessary. And here have still recollected School... Well, and the SCHOOL SUN has turned out.
