Ideas and solutions
The indie-band Juna from Kazan is releasing their album "Amanat". It consists of the songs featuring the contemporary Tatar poets’ poems. We want to tell you about the track of the same name from the album. "Amanat" is a song based on a poem by Louise Yansuar. The word "Ämanät" can be translated from Tatar as "deposited" (given to keep). The song "Amanat" is about the feelings of a person who realizes a terrible loss, realizes that all good is temporary, feels emptiness and exhaustion and tries to accept this thought. This can be understood as separation, as death, as a very bitter experience The track is three-part. Each part plunges deeper into the dark world of the lyrical hero. During the recording, the following instruments were used: electric guitar, bass, ukulele, harp, violin, bells, vocals, percussion, programming.
