In conversation with singer Oleg Gazmanov news.ru I remembered that at my first concerts I received 60 rubles a month.
“I played with the Atlantic group in Kaliningrad. We performed in the dance at the Fishermen’s Culture House. I received good money – 60 rubles. The engineer then received $120. It was good money,” Gazmanov said.
The musician stated that he mostly uses his income to buy music equipment. Gazmanov admitted that he has two apartments abroad: he has residences in Latvia and Italy. Now the singer’s assets are frozen and he is not allowed to go abroad due to sanctions, but the musician is not upset and calls the blocking a collateral loss. The artist assured that he will continue to work on new material, as the limitations only inspire him.
Previously Joseph Prigogine named Gazmanov as a role model.
