Michael Savichev
(Guitar/Vocal)
was born 16 of March 1971.
He finished the musical college and studied in the Novosibirsk Conservatorium as a classic guitarist. His teacher was professor U. P. Kuzin. Synchronically with education he creates the fusion-jazz band called “UG” (this name means South) and make experiments with different styles, sequencing classic music with jazz and acousti folk music. 
In 2000 he met with the Spanish gypsy flamenco band of Tomas de Madrid, that came for the tour to Siberia. The Spanish musiciants heared the music of Michael and invited him to graduate in Spain.
He graduated in Spain more then a year, learning to play flamencofrom the original sources – in Silva and Cordova, playing with the best Spanish gypsy musiciants, sequencing in his style Russian and Spanish traditions.
The inviting of Michael Savichev to “Loyko” became a start of a new period of the guitarist, because the gypsy music of Spain and Russia has some similar features, the main of those features is a feeling of the sound and the amotional sequence of music and artist.
