Biography of Nild Fernandez

Nilde Fernandez five years ago, on May 19, the heart of Nilda Fernandez-Franco-Spanish and partly the Russian singer, musician, poet, composer, promoter, laureate of the Golden Gramophone Award ceased to beat. Daniel Fernandez was born near Barcelona, ​​at an early age he was in France, where at the beginning of X he released a debut record and took the youth pseudonym Nild Verlan on behalf of the passport.

Throughout his career, the artist experimented with a variety of genres and themes, developing the traditions of the French chanson, Latino and Flmenko, the author’s song that became pearls of EMI, Polydor catalogs and other labels that determined the appearance of modern music. At the beginning of X, Fernandez settled in Russia - a country that he loved with all his soul and which did not reciprocate.

In the domestic press, those years were discussed not by the artist’s work, but by his “orientation”; Not the unique voice of Nilda, but his friendship with the “just a click” Boris Moiseev. The vulgarity of the era did not break the singer and did not fierce him. Returning to his native lands, he remained a faithful guide between the brilliant, but soulless world of collective Paris and the decadent, but inspired world of Luzhkovskaya Moscow.

At the request of Gorky, the biography of Nilda Fernandez, written by the widow of the artist Olga Gerasimova and debunk many myths about legend, was read by the researcher of the intellectual history of show business Evgeny Petrov. Since February 24, we all came in front of the advancing barbarism, violence and lies. In this situation, it is extremely important to preserve at least the remnants of culture and support the values ​​of humanism - including for the sake of the future of Russia.

Therefore, the editorial office of Gorky will continue to talk about books, reminding our readers that the world remains in the world and fiction. Olga Gerasimova. Nilda Fernandez. A little above the rules. Before the most undoubted masterpiece, whose beginning is blinded with brilliance and confidence, we nevertheless encounter something fading-the work suddenly becomes invisible again, it is not there and never was here.

This sudden eclipse is a distant memory of Orpheus's gaze. Maurice Blancho. Orpheus's gaze if you ask the layman in the area of ​​thirty years old, who is Nild Fernandez, he will most likely say that it is either the Formula-1 rider or some legionnaire of the Moscow football club of the coach Bozhovich. Only in rare cases, the connoisseurs of the pop song of the zero will recall "the Frenchman who sang something with Boris Moiseev." Prior to reading the book “Nild Fernandez.

A little above the rules ”The author of these lines knew about her hero exactly the same thing, so he was pleasantly surprised by the true scale of the personality:“ He sang on the warm -up of Sting, wrote songs for Jane Birkin, staged a circus performance in Cuba - and he prepared a ship of humanitarian aid in Cuba. He collected Olympia, Casino de Paris - and he traveled throughout France with tour from Barcelona to Paris on a wagon drawn by horses.

All of the above is the pure truth that the author Olga Gerasimova-Fernandes, the widow of Mr. Fernandez, who managed to work with him for many years to work with him as an assistant and translator in the format of artistic fuses-with love for the subject of the biography, but without the expected servile before the artist and his man. Here Nilda is learning to drink vodka a la Rüss in the Shinok restaurant, looking at a living goat, and then goes from a hangover to meet Boris Moiseev at the Eldorado restaurant.

But Fernandez arranges “French seasons” in Moscow, to which he brings an actual near -sherh to introduce a medium class that begins to gain fat with modern music. And it turns out that he is so well that the Minister of Culture is a milestone awards the order for his contribution to international friendship. Immediately there are sketches with a tour “Cheom” with Moiseev and its cor deucot throughout the space of the former USSR, stories about permanent trips in the Moscow metro along the violet branch, where Fernandez is mistaken for Moldavian.

For example, somewhere in the same years throughout Russia, the full-time grandmother from Cabo-Verda Caria Evra with piercing songs about fate-prisoner in Portuguese was collected throughout Russia. Nilda Fernandez himself sincerely rejoices that the Russians do not go to psychologists and prefer to cry to a vest under a bottle of vodka instead, leads the “Lada” with pleasure, praising the practicality and minimalism of the domestic automobile industry, and indulges in simple human joys - for example, it tastes pickled garlic from the market.

Unlike the shot down pilots who settled in Russia already in a state of lethargic sleep like the Boney M group, ONYX rappers and singers Patricia Kaas, Nild Fernandez at a certain moment will nevertheless break out of the vicious circle of “golden gramophones”, quarrels with Boris Moiseev and continuing his career in Europe, becoming there in some sense. Cultures. On Wikipedia, the period of his life in Russia is described very concisely: "Nilda Fernandez disappeared from the music scene after the tour in Russia, deciding to stay there and living there for the next five years."In the yellow press there was a legend that Nild Fernandez Boris Moiseev noticed in a vagabond circus during a tour in France and promised him a career in Moscow in exchange for love.

And since love did not work out, Fernandez was expelled from the Russian show business with a wolf ticket. The biography is silent about the specific reason for the quarrel with Moiseev. But, judging by the told, Mr. Fernandez, despite the vicissitudes of fate, still never worked in a tramp circus and simply did not want to play according to the rules of the Russian show business first of all-to deceive fans with singing under the “plywood” and decided to return to his fairly successful career in the West: before he arrived in Russia, he had already recorded with a dozen albums, and his own audience was waiting for him there, even though he was there, even though he was there, even though he was there, although he was there, although He has never been a star of Johnny Hollide.

You can call Fernandez an antithesis to another popular Frenchman - a cynic and the misanthrope Michel Welbek. Perhaps Welbek would also be useful for several years to live in Moscow for several years and resemble concerts at the Chinese pilot, drinking cheap beer - he would easily fit into the Chinesegorod intellectual party with his forever dissatisfied face and appropriate style and instead of whining about the sunset in the format of novels in the newspaper Tomorrow with the same content.

Even Michel Welbek, in this case, would be carried in his arms - after all, the image of a foreigner, fascinated by Russia, always causes special tenderness and pride in a Russian person. I think that Mr. Fernandez will be pleased that after the publication of his biography and the appearance of reviews on her in the search results next to his name there will be links to normal texts, and not to articles with the headlines “Borifrend Bori Moiseeva before death, before his death, married a Russian girl” and “The modest charm of schizophrenia”.

You can find fault with the book in one - it is criminally short, miserable one hundred pages. Every lover of wild stories about the show business of the 2000s would like at least three hundred. It would be better to drink with Nilda Fernandez vodka with pickled garlic and listen to Current take care of the artists, keep them the Lord.
