The first day of the 2025 New Wave festival was marked by a stunning concert, in which Larisa Dolina shone along with other stars.

This year, the festival is moving to Kazan, opening a new chapter in the search for young talents and the celebration of popular music. Now the competition of young performers, which is a platform for cultural exchange and creative growth, according to the decision of the organizer Igor Krutoy, will become an annual event in the capital of Tatarstan.

On the first day, the participants will perform popular songs in their native languages. Young talents from different parts of Europe and neighboring countries will take the stage to win the hearts of the audience and judges. Last year, the emphasis was on cultural diversity and uniqueness, which allowed the contestants to present world hits in their own languages. This tradition will probably continue this year. Participants will be able to demonstrate not only their vocal abilities, but also the richness of their language. The jury will evaluate not only vocal skill and artistry, but also the originality of interpretation and the ability to convey emotions through native speech.

One of the most anticipated events of the "New Wave" in Kazan will be a creative evening with Larisa Dolina. This outstanding singer, who embodies professionalism and the highest performing skills, will present a program that includes both famous hits and new works. Many famous artists of our stage will take part in the concert, who will offer their interpretations of Dolina's songs.

Larisa Dolina is a Soviet and Russian pop singer and actress, People's Artist of Russia. Over the years of her career, she has won the hearts of millions of fans. Born in Baku, she spent most of her life in Odessa, where her musical journey began. Her real surname is Kudelman; she chose the stage name "Dolina" at the beginning of her career, inspired by the mountains that surrounded her. Initially, Larisa planned to become a translator and studied English, but her parents brought her to a music school, which changed her plans: she devoted herself to singing. The uniqueness of her voice lies not only in its five-octave range, but also in its impeccable command of it. Her vocals are distinguished by their power, richness of timbre and expressiveness of emotions. Dolina easily moves from lyrical ballads to fiery jazz, demonstrating virtuoso mastery of technique and a sense of style.
