(Reggae magazine “SE
LA” № 14 august 2000)
When this number was already
almost imposed, we have received the letter from Ekaterina Borisovoj in which
she has authoritatively stated the attitude to "Pechalniy Tanec"
Sunjah. To push together various opinions, including absolutely opposite, - one
of traditions of our almanac. You see in disputes, as though it is banal
sounded, the true is born! However there is a question: whether itself it is
time to act the Dignity from pages of the almanac "SE LA" to place,
so to say, all points above "i" ? However, the right of any creative
person - to not notice retorts from the side critics. We continue to trust in
you, Sunjah, and we hope for new meetings with your songs in beat reggae.
Very inconsistent impressions
from an album. On the one hand - the same signs of style, already almost
"firm", the deliberate primitiveness supported with obviously
increased technical skill; monotonous, turning, involving in action mantra
("Caribi", "Kongo"), terribly beautiful "Sentiabr"
and "Leto Pridet" - sad dances matured young men, secret
hopelessness, foggy sad -
But on other bowl of weights -
somehow unexpectedly appeared eulogy of the Christ... In subjects of this there
is nothing unworthy, by no means, that is more white, that in sincerity of the
author of doubts of any. But too they are similar to sermons of street
foreign-made sectarians - direct-sales representatives, so similar, that it is
awkward to listen. Good guy Sunjah, but something too sharply throws it(him)
for Jah to the Christ... Searches are peculiar youthes, but it would be
possible to regret and to not frighten students such differences.
Ekaterina Borisova, Saint Petersburg.
