performed in Dubai on May 6 and 7, 2010. That was great!Concerts with the participation of the brightest and most feminine Russian pop group, which became a gift for many for the May holidays, were held in the luxurious banquet hall of Al Falak of the famous Burj Al Arab hotel. Both evenings began with welcome cocktails and meeting guests to music performed by Evgeny Morozov's quartet. Traditionally, all the “Russian evenings” in this hotel gather the most sophisticated audience and are more reminiscent of social receptions, at which a delicious dinner prepared by the best chefs of the hotel is first served, and then the concert itself begins.
In Dubai gruppa in its current star cast: Albina Dzhanabaeva, Nadezhda Meyher-Granovskaya and Eva Bushmina performed new songs and favorite hits. Both evenings gave guests a warm and almost homely atmosphere with friends. For this, once again, on behalf of all viewers, I want to thank Total Concepts and personally Evgeny Morozov for organizing a tour in Dubai of the best Russian pop artists and groups. The concert "VIA Gra" was another hit "bullseye".
Indeed, according to many music critics, VIA Gra is one of the most successful Russian-language musical projects in the new century. She has five studio albums, filming in four television musicals, 28 video clips, four of which are in English. The group is a laureate of many awards, including Golden Disc, Golden Gramophone, Muz-TV Prizes, Russian Music Awards and Russian Movie Awards for the best soundtrack for the film.
The group’s debut album "Attempt No. 5" made it popular in Russia and the CIS countries, having received the status of "Golden" for 700 thousand copies sold. The second album of the band Stop! Filmed! Received the same status. The third studio album, Biology, became the 2003 sales leader in Russia. According to general estimates, over 1.3 million copies of this album were sold in the CIS for the first six months. The first English album of the group "VIA Gra" - “Stop! Stop! Stop ”(2004) was recognized as the most successful in its history - total sales of all versions
disk drive exceeded the mark of 2 million copies. New successful projects of the group - in a hundred steps ....
And finally, I want to say a few words about the current composition of the group’s members for those who have long been “separated” from their homeland and have already become confused about who left the group, who came and who returned for a while or permanently. So (according to information from the official website of the group www.via-gra.ru):

She worked in Korea under a contract, in the musical Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, she sang the part of a foreign Snow White in Korean. For two years she worked as a backing vocalist in the team of Valery Meladze, where she proved herself not only as a professional singer, but also a kind, sympathetic person. On the recommendation of Valeria in the fall of 2004, she joined the VIA Gra group.
Nadezhda Meyher-Granovskaya
She was born on April 10, 1982 in the village of Zbruchivka, Volochi district, Khmelnitsky region, in Ukraine. From early childhood she was fascinated by the stage and dancing, she toured a lot as part of the choreographic collective. I met Konstantin Meladze at a concert by Valery Meladze in the city of Khmelnitsky. Since then, VIA Gra has always been associated with Nadia, even during periods of her long absence.
Eva Bushmina

Eve's whole life is devoted to creativity, so she was a member of the show ballet “The Best” and the host of the program “Guten Morgen” on the music channel M1.
