PLATINA MUZICALA: Loyko, "Road Of The Gypsies"
Loyko band
was established in 1990 by Sergey Erdenko (originally as a duet with Igor Staroselzev). It can be called a music laboratory.
During the existance of the band (almost 14 years), many high-class musiciants played in it, as Oleg Ponomarev (violin), Vadim Kulitzkiy (guitar), Leonsia Erdenko (vocal, percussion), Alexey Bezlepkin (guitar); each one influed the development of the music style of Loyko. 
In all the times the gypsy music from Russia was the base of the style of the band. Frequent tours, uninterrupting communication on concerts and fesivals gave Loyko many ideas from Celtic, traditional Romanian and Hungrian and classic music.
The new variant of Loyko, in which Sergey Erdenk, George Osmolovskiy and Michael Savichev takes part, is a result of a long evolution of the band. Musiciants creates new compositions by themselves, using all the experience of the band. The main direction of the work of a new Loyko is writing they own compositions.
